# matplotlib.pyplot.ishold

`matplotlib.pyplot.``ishold`()

  Deprecated since version 2.0: pyplot.hold is deprecated. Future behavior will be consistent with the long-time default: plot commands add elements without first clearing the Axes and/or Figure.

  Return the hold status of the current axes.
