## Clear the current axes.
##
## @code{cla} operates by deleting child graphic objects with visible
## handles (HandleVisibility = @qcode{"on"}).
##
## If the optional argument @qcode{"reset"} is specified, delete all child
## objects including those with hidden handles and reset all axis properties
## to their defaults.  However, the following properties are not reset:
## Position, Units.
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then operate on
## this axis rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
