landscape plotting

[Rudolf Widmer-Schnidrig]

Dear list,

I run octave 3.6.4 and would like that my plot fills out an entire 
landscape A4 page.

I invoke

figure(1)
orient('landscape')
subplot(611),plot....
.
.
subplot(616),plot...

print -landscape -dpdf    myfig.pdf

So far I have experimented with
    set(gca(),'outerposition',[x,y,width,hight])
and with
    set(gca(),'plotboxaspectratio',[...])
after every call to subplot but I had only marginal success:
I am always left with too much white space.

Is there a command to tell octave to make use of the entire page?
Which gca option should I change?

        many thanks in advance,

                     -Rudolf
