[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40686] Incorrect colorbar size after "axis tight"

[Rik]

Update of bug #40686 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
                 Summary: trouble with subplots and colorbar => Incorrect
colorbar size after "axis tight"

Follow-up Comment #2:

Item (1) is caused by the fact that surf produces 3-D output, but the command
"view (0, 90)" is restricting it to 2-D.  For 2-D plots there is no need to
take into account the Z-axis and that is why Octave doesn't bother to set the
Z limits correctly.

This is a known issue and both Matlab and Octave have the pcolor() function
for producing this sort of plot.  Replacing


surf (x,y,z)
view (0, 90)

with

pcolor (x,y,z)


correctly sets the zlim values.

Item (3), the size of the colorbar, still remains.  Re-titling the bug report
to emphasize that issue.

Since colorbars, legends, and text objects are annotations.  It makes sense to
add these only after the plot is visually the way you like it.  I know Octave
should be able to handle the other ordering through callbacks, but at least
for now there is a simple work around which is to have colorbar be the last
command for a plot.
