ishold - Current hold state

Syntax

ishold

Description

ishold returns 1 if hold is on, and 0 if it is off. When hold is on, the current plot and most axis properties are held so that subsequent graphing commands add to the existing graph.

A state of hold on implies that both figure and axes NextPlot properties are set to add.
