Where is H coming from in the above?

It seems to work properly for me after the patch, though I find it
somewhat strange that

  pcolor (peaks ()); colorbar ();

produces the first attached plot.

I would expect the colorbar to have the same height as the pcolor
plot.  It seems to work correctly for the contourf case as shown in
the second attached plot.

Is this difference caused by splot vs. plot in gnuplot or is it
something that we could control without too much effort?

Thanks,
