% @deftypefn {Built-in Function} {} hold @var{args}
% Tell Octave to `hold' the current data on the plot when executing
% subsequent plotting commands. This allows you to execute a series of
% plot commands and have all the lines end up on the same figure. The
% default is for each new plot command to clear the plot device first.
% For example, the command
%
% @example
% hold on
% @end example
%
% @noindent
% turns the hold state on. An argument of @code{off} turns the hold state
% off, and @code{hold} with no arguments toggles the current hold state.
% @end deftypefn
