mtlb_axis
=========

Matlab axis emulation function



Calling Sequence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


::

    mtlb_axis(X)
    mtlb_axis(st)
    mtlb_axis(axeshandle, ...)
    [mode,visibility,direction]=mtlb_axis('state')




Arguments
~~~~~~~~~

:X a vector of reals ([xmin xmax ymin ymax] or [xmin xmax ymin ymax
  zmin zmax])
:

:st a string ('auto', 'manual', 'tight', 'ij', 'xy', 'equal',
  'square', 'vis3d', 'off', 'on')
:

:axeshandle handle of the current axes entity
:



Description
~~~~~~~~~~~

Matlab `axis` have not a Scilab equivalent function.

The function `mtlb_axis(...)` is used by `mfile2sci` to replace
`axis(...)` when it was not possible to know what were the inputs
while porting Matlab code to Scilab. This function will determine the
correct semantic at run time (axis `fill`, axis `image` and axis
`normal` are not implemented). If you want to have a more efficient
code it is possible to replace `mtlb_axis` call by `get(axeshandle,
prop)` call (prop is an axis property, see `axis_properties`_)

Caution: `mtlb_axis` has not to be used for hand coded functions.
