## @deftypefnx {Function File} {} grid (@var{hax}, @dots{})
## Force the display of a grid on the plot.
## The argument may be either @code{"on"}, or @code{"off"}.
## If it is omitted, the current grid state is toggled.
##
## If @var{arg} is @code{"minor"} then the minor grid is toggled.  When
## using a minor grid a second argument @var{arg2} is allowed, which can
## be either @code{"on"} or @code{"off"} to explicitly set the state of
## the minor grid.
##
## If the first argument is an axis handle, @var{hax}, operate on the
## specified axis object.
