Hi, I am trying to combine a quiver plot with a contour plot. However, when I have arrows pointing outwards across the figure frame/box, Matlab inserts whitespace to accommodate the arrows. See whitespace in figure below to the right edge of the frame/box.

I would prefer that there is no whitespace in between and the arrows jump outside of the figure frame/box. I know this can be done in IDL for instance. I would like to do it in Matlab though as I dont have an IDL license. I would be very grateful for any help you can provide.

In your figure above, set the x axis limits using xlim to eliminate white spaces. Im not sure what maximum value on x axis for figure, guessing 6.2?
xlim([0 6.2])
And also set the clipping property of the axis to decide wheather arrows clipped or arrows extend outside graph limits. Either display axis property editor or set using:
ax = gca; % get the current axis
ax.Clipping = 'off'; % turn clipping off
