## The function state input may be either @qcode{"on"} or @qcode{"off"}.
## If it is omitted, the current grid state is toggled.
##
## When the first argument is @qcode{"minor"} all subsequent commands
## modify the minor grid rather than the major grid.
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then operate on
## this axis rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## To control the grid lines for an individual axis use the @code{set}
## function.  For example:
##
## @example
## set (gca, "ygrid", "on");
## @end example
## @seealso{axis, box}
