% @deftypefn {Function File} {} hold @var{args}
% Tell Octave to `hold' the current data on the graph 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 graph. 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.
%
% @deftypefnx {Function File} {} hold (@var{h}, @dots{})
%
% Applies to a specific axis or axes, associated with the handle(s),
% @var{h}.

% @end deftypefn
