ishold

Return hold state

Syntax

• k = ishold
  

Description

k = ishold returns the hold state of the current axes. If hold is on k = 1, if hold is off, k = 0.

Examples

ishold is useful in graphics M-files where you want to perform a particular action only if hold is not on. For example, these statements set the view to 3-D only if hold is off:

• if ~ishold
      view(3);
  end
