AXES AXES Create Handle Axes

Usage

This function has three different syntaxes.  The first takes
no arguments,

  h = axes

and creates a new set of axes that are parented to the current
figure (see gcf).  The newly created axes are made the current
axes (see gca) and are added to the end of the list of children 
for the current figure.
The second form takes a set of property names and values

  h = axes(propertyname,value,propertyname,value,...)

Creates a new set of axes, and then sets the specified properties
to the given value.  This is a shortcut for calling 
set(h,propertyname,value) for each pair.
The third form takes a handle as an argument

  axes(handle)

and makes handle the current axes, placing it at the head of
the list of children for the current figure.
