Axes.
hold
(b=None)¶Deprecated since version 2.0: axes.hold is deprecated. See the API Changes document (http://matplotlib.org/api/api_changes.html) for more details.
Set the hold state
The hold
mechanism is deprecated and will be removed in
v3.0. The behavior will remain consistent with the
long-time default value of True.
If hold is None (default), toggle the hold state. Else set the hold state to boolean value b.
Examples:
# toggle hold
hold()
# turn hold on
hold(True)
# turn hold off
hold(False)
When hold is True, subsequent plot commands will be added to the current axes. When hold is False, the current axes and figure will be cleared on the next plot command
