is it possible to use square subplots?

if I use axis image: the problem is the gaps are too big between subplots, I would like to adjust the figure size also automatically, if possible

You can use "axis square" though that does not do anything for the large amount of blank space between plots. You'll need set(gca, 'Position', [x,y,w,h]) for that.

figure('Position', [100, 100, 400, 400]);
axes
axis('equal') % [EDITED: or better 'square' !]

@Mr. M: The documentation is clear:
doc figure
doc plot
doc subplot
figure creates a window. plot draws a line and creates an axes object implicitly. subplot creates an axes object with a specific position - so "subaxes" would be a better name.

For each subplot, store its handle.
h = subplot(2,3,1);
Then set the 'position' property of h to be anything you want.
p = get(h, 'pos');
This is a 4-element vector [left, bottom, width, height] which by default is in normalized coordinates (percentage of figure window). For instance, to add 0.05 units (5% of figure window) to the width, do this:
p(3) = p(3) + 0.05;
set(h, 'pos', p);
The SUBPLOT command picks standard values for these parameters, but they could be anything you want. You could put axes anywhere on the figure you want, any size you want.
Please vote for the answer.
