|
22 ## Tell Octave to `hold' the current data on the plot when executing |
|
|
23 ## subsequent plotting commands. This allows you to execute a series of |
|
|
24 ## plot commands and have all the lines end up on the same figure. The |
|
|
25 ## default is for each new plot command to clear the plot device first. |
|
|
26 ## For example, the command |
|
|
27 ## |
|
|
28 ## @example |
|
|
29 ## hold on |
|
|
30 ## @end example |
|
|
31 ## |
|
|
32 ## @noindent |
|
|
33 ## turns the hold state on. An argument of @code{"off"} turns the hold |
|
|
34 ## state off, and @code{hold} with no arguments toggles the current hold |
|
|
35 ## state. |
