## @deftypefnx {Function File} {} axis (@var{h}, @dots{})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{limits} =} axis ()
## Set axis limits for plots.
##
## The argument @var{limits} should be a 2-, 4-, or 6-element vector.  The
## first and second elements specify the lower and upper limits for the
## x-axis.  The third and fourth specify the limits for the y-axis, and the
## fifth and sixth specify the limits for the z-axis.
##
## Without any arguments, @code{axis} turns autoscaling on.
##
## With one output argument, @code{x = axis} returns the current axes.
##
## The vector argument specifying limits is optional, and additional
## string arguments may be used to specify various axis properties.  For
## example,
##
## @example
## axis ([1, 2, 3, 4], "square");
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## forces a square aspect ratio, and
##
## @example
## axis ("tic", "labely");
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## turns tic marks on for all axes and tic mark labels on for the y-axis
## only.
##
## @noindent
## The following options control the aspect ratio of the axes.
##
## @table @asis
## @item "square"
## Force a square aspect ratio.
##
## @item "equal"
## Force x distance to equal y-distance.
##
## @item "normal"
## Restore the balance.
## @end table
##
## @noindent
## The following options control the way axis limits are interpreted.
##
## @table @asis
## @item "auto"
## Set the specified axes to have nice limits around the data
## or all if no axes are specified.
##
## @item "manual"
## Fix the current axes limits.
##
## @item "tight"
## Fix axes to the limits of the data.
## @end table
##
## @noindent
## The option @code{"image"} is equivalent to @code{"tight"} and
## @code{"equal"}.
##
## @noindent
## The following options affect the appearance of tic marks.
##
## @table @asis
## @item "on"
## Turn tic marks and labels on for all axes.
##
## @item "off"
## Turn tic marks off for all axes.
##
## @item "tic[xyz]"
## Turn tic marks on for all axes, or turn them on for the
## specified axes and off for the remainder.
##
## @item "label[xyz]"
## Turn tic labels on for all axes, or turn them on for the
## specified axes and off for the remainder.
##
## @item "nolabel"
## Turn tic labels off for all axes.
## @end table
## Note, if there are no tic marks for an axis, there can be no labels.
##
## @noindent
## The following options affect the direction of increasing values on
## the axes.
##
## @table @asis
## @item "ij"
## Reverse y-axis, so lower values are nearer the top.
##
## @item "xy"
## Restore y-axis, so higher values are nearer the top.
## @end table
##
## If an axes handle is passed as the first argument, then operate on
## this axes rather than the current axes.
