## @deftypefn  {Command} {} demo @var{name}
## @deftypefnx {Command} {} demo @var{name} @var{n}

##
## Run example code block @var{n} associated with the function @var{name}.
## If @var{n} is not specified, all examples are run.
##
## Examples are stored in the script file, or in a file with the same
## name but no extension located on Octave's load path.  To keep examples
## separate from regular script code, all lines are prefixed by @code{%!}.  Each
## example must also be introduced by the keyword @qcode{"demo"} flush left
## to the prefix with no intervening spaces.  The remainder of the example
## can contain arbitrary Octave code.  For example:
##
## @example
## @group
## %!demo
## %! t = 0:0.01:2*pi;
## %! x = sin (t);
## %! plot (t, x);
## %! %-------------------------------------------------
## %! % the figure window shows one cycle of a sine wave
## @end group
## @end example
##
## Note that the code is displayed before it is executed, so a simple
## comment at the end suffices for labeling what is being shown.  It is
## generally not necessary to use @code{disp} or @code{printf} within the demo.
##
## Demos are run in a function environment with no access to external
## variables.  This means that every demo must have separate initialization
## code.  Alternatively, all demos can be combined into a single large demo
## with the code
##
## @example
## %! input("Press <enter> to continue: ","s");
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## between the sections, but this is discouraged.  Other techniques
## to avoid multiple initialization blocks include using multiple plots
## with a new @code{figure} command between each plot, or using @code{subplot}
## to put multiple plots in the same window.
##
## Also, because demo evaluates within a function context, you cannot
## define new functions inside a demo.  If you must have function blocks,
## rather than just anonymous functions or inline functions, you will have to
## use @code{eval (example ("function",n))} to see them.  Because eval only
## evaluates one line, or one statement if the statement crosses
## multiple lines, you must wrap your demo in @qcode{"if 1 <demo stuff> endif"}
## with the @qcode{"if"} on the same line as @qcode{"demo"}.  For example:
##
## @example
## @group
## %!demo if 1
## %!  function y=f(x)
## %!    y=x;
## %!  endfunction
## %!  f(3)
## %! endif
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @seealso{test, example}
## @end deftypefn

## FIXME: modify subplot so that gnuplot_has_multiplot == 0 causes it to
## use the current figure window but pause if not plotting in the
## first subplot.
