A sin of omission. I just added it to CVS. If you don't have CVS
access, in the meantime, you can either use the ax._ishold variable to
inspect the axes hold status, or add the following
to matplotlib.axes.Axes:
def ishold(self):
'return the HOLD status of the axes'
return self._hold
and to matplotlib.matlab
def ishold(b=None):
"""
Return the hold status of the current axes
"""
return gca().ishold()
Should cure what ails ya ...
