How to set axis scaling?

What is the figure property name for setting the axis scaling? I would like to set 'axis tight' as the default, but I can not seem to find the appropriate property handle for this?

In versions 2014b or later you can use the properties:

XLimSpec, YLimSpec and ZLimSpec

by setting these properties to 'tight'.

Prior to 2014b you would need to use the XLim, YLim and XLim properties, but these need to be assigned the min and max values.

How is XLimSpec different that using XLimitMethod?
