ishold
Current hold state
Syntax
tf = ishold
tf = ishold(ax)
Description
tf = ishold returns the hold state of the current
axes. The return value is true if the hold state is on, and it is
false if the hold state is off. When the hold state is on, the
current plot and most axes properties are held so that subsequent graphing commands add
to the existing graph. If there is no figure, ishold returns
false and MATLAB® creates a new figure.
tf = ishold(ax) returns the hold state of the specified axes object,
which can be any type of axes object. You can also specify ax as an
array of multiple axes objects that belong to the same class (use the class function to determine the class).
When the hold state is on, the NextPlot property of the figure and the
axes object is set to "add".
