The function is document
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.pyplot.html#-hold and the
usage in the "Simple Plots" Section 3.1 of the User's Guide at
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users_guide_0.91.2svn.pdf .  The
hold functionality is part of the state-machine interface inherited
from matlab, where plotting commands are targets to the current axes
in the current figure, and overbplotting is controlled by the "hold"
state.  Se also, "ishold"
