I cannot see the "position" property for figure in octave manual.

From the viewing codes and some experiments, I found that

The "position" property value are [x_position, y_position, x_size, y_size]

Unit of values are pixels.

Then even for interactive terminal, 
terminals_with_size has important meaning for specifying figure size.

Therefore octave-4.2.0-rc1 (before attaching patch.)

  figure("position", [0, 0, 500, 500])

command effective for size for wxt terminal but not effective qt terminal.
