When you use the axis function, it usually sets your axes to an annoying "stretch to fill" mode, which is kind of (but not really) explained here: http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/visualize/understanding-axes-aspect-ratio.html
It's related to some rather obscure axes properties that i can never figure out. As suggested by the workaround, when you need your axes to do exactly what you want them to do, it's best to avoid axis() and set the limits directly with the set function.
