Ah so you got same as me? Thats interesing.
I should add I'm using a Windows install - this may haev a lot to do with it...

I'm actually not intelligent enough (yet) to understand how to switch between graphics packages, or how to use them - I'm just using default Octave.

I'm using Octave 4.2.1 and statistics 1.3.0 as well. Similar to the above, output looks fine on all three graphics toolkits, gnuplot being a bit less 'clean' than the others, comparison image attached.

Octave (at least on windows) is built with 3 available graphics toolkits: qt (default), gnuplot, and fltk.  you check them and switch between them using the 'graphics_toolkit' command.  So, I produced the attached output with the following:

    1    1
    1    1
    1   10
    1   10
    5    5
    5    5
    5    5
    5    5
    5    5
    7    3
    7    3
    7    3
   10   10
   10   10];
