## @deftypefn {Built-in Function} {} hold @var{args}
## Tell Octave to `hold' the current data on the plot 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 figure.  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.
## @end deftypefn
