Marco,

If I understand correctly, the "square" and "equal" options need to be  
switched.

If you modify the demos so that the "plot(...)" commands precede the  
"axes(...)" and "title(...)" commands the problem should be clear.

Also, it appears to me that the "dataaspectratio" for  
"equal" ("square" in your diff) should be set as ...

     elseif  (strcmp (ax, "equal"))
       x = xlim;
       y = ylim;
       set (ca, "dataaspectratio", [(x(2)-x(1)), (y(2)-y(1)), 1]);

If you'll make these corrections and resubmit a diff/patch, I'll  
commit it for you.

Thanks
Ben
