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