How can I set ">> axis image" as default (for all images/figures I will ever create)

Hello, I can't find the answer to my question, so I am asking here: When I set

>>axis image

or

>>set(gca,'DataAspectRatio',[1 1 1])

I change the DataAspectRatio from "Default to "Manual", the "stretch-to-fill" behaviour is disabled and I get the result I want. How can I set these preferences as default, something like:

>>set(0,'DefaultAxisDataAspectRatio',[1 1 1])

or

>>set(groot,'DefaultAxisDataAspectRatio',[1 1 1])

?

Thank you for helping, DB

The second of those options should work:

set( groot, 'DefaultAxisDataAspectRatio', [1 1 1] )

but I think you also need to set

set( groot, 'DefaultDataAspectRatioMode', 'manual' )

I've never set these defaults myself, but I seem to remember a similar question in the past where it turned out you had to explicitly set the mode to manual for that to work.

Thank you for your reply but in both cases, Matlab tells me that

"axisdataaspectratio(-mode) is an invalid class name"
