## @deftypefnx {} {} axis (@var{hax}, @dots{})
## @deftypefnx {} {@var{limits} =} axis ()
## Set axis limits and appearance.
##
## The argument @var{limits} should be a 2-, 4-, 6-, or 8-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, the fifth
## and sixth specify the limits for the z-axis, and the seventh and eighth
## specify the limits for the color axis.  The special values @code{-Inf} and
## @code{Inf} may be used to indicate that the limit should be automatically
## computed based on the data in the axes.
##
## Without any arguments, @code{axis} turns autoscaling on.
##
## With one output argument, @code{@var{limits} = axis} returns the current
## axis limits.
##
## The vector argument specifying limits is optional, and additional string
## arguments may be used to specify various axis properties.
##
## The following options control the aspect ratio of the axes.
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"square"}
## Force a square axis aspect ratio.
##
## @item @qcode{"equal"}
## Force x-axis unit distance to equal y-axis (and z-axis) unit distance.
##
## @item @qcode{"normal"}
## Restore default aspect ratio.
## @end table
##
## @noindent
## The following options control the way axis limits are interpreted.
##
## @table @asis
## @item  @qcode{"auto"}
## @itemx @qcode{"auto[xyz]"}
## @itemx @qcode{"auto [xyz]"}
## Set nice auto-computed limits around the data for all axes, or only
## the specified axes.
##
## @item @qcode{"manual"}
## Fix the current axes limits.
##
## @item @qcode{"tight"}
## Fix axes to the limits of the data.
##
## @item @qcode{"image"}
## Equivalent to @qcode{"tight"} and @qcode{"equal"}.
##
## @item @nospell{@qcode{"vis3d"}}
## Set aspect ratio modes to @qcode{"manual"} for rotation without stretching.
## @end table
##
## @noindent
## The following options affect the appearance of tick marks.
##
## @table @asis
## @item  @qcode{"tic"}
## @itemx @qcode{"tic[xyz]"}
## @itemx @qcode{"tic [xyz]"}
## Turn tick marks on for all axes, or turn them on for the specified axes and
## off for the remainder.
##
## @item  @qcode{"label"}
## @itemx @qcode{"label[xyz]"}
## @itemx @qcode{"label [xyz]"}
## Turn tick labels on for all axes, or turn them on for the specified axes
## and off for the remainder.
##
## @item @qcode{"nolabel"}
## Turn tick labels off for all axes.
## @end table
##
## Note: If there are no tick marks for an axes then there can be no labels.
##
## @noindent
## The following options affect the direction of increasing values on the axes.
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"xy"}
## Default y-axis, larger values are near the top.
##
## @item @qcode{"ij"}
## Reverse y-axis, smaller values are near the top.
## @end table
##
## @noindent
## The following options affects the visibility of the axes.
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"on"}
## Make the axes visible.
##
## @item @qcode{"off"}
## Hide the axes.
## @end table
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then operate on this
## axes rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## Example 1: set X/Y limits and force a square aspect ratio
##
## @example
## axis ([1, 2, 3, 4], "square");
## @end example
##
## Example 2: enable tick marks on all axes,
##            enable tick mark labels only on the y-axis
##
## @example
## axis ("tic", "labely");
## @end example
