## @deftypefnx {} {} hold (@var{hax}, @dots{})
## Toggle or set the @qcode{"hold"} state of the plotting engine which
## determines whether new graphic objects are added to the plot or replace
## the existing objects.
##
## @table @code
## @item hold on
## Retain plot data and settings so that subsequent plot commands are displayed
## on a single graph.  Line color and line style are advanced for each new plot
## added.
##
## @item hold all (deprecated)
## Equivalent to @code{hold on}.
##
## @item hold off
## Restore default graphics settings which clear the graph and reset axes
## properties before each new plot command.  (default).
##
## @item hold
## Toggle the current hold state.
## @end table
##
## When given the additional argument @var{hax}, the hold state is modified
## for this axes rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## To query the current hold state use the @code{ishold} function.
