## Clear the current or specified (@var{hax}) axes object.
##
## @code{cla} operates by deleting child graphic objects with visible
## handles (@code{HandleVisibility} = @qcode{"on"}).  This typically clears the
## axes of any visual objects, but leaves in place axes limits, tick marks and
## labels, camera view, etc.  In addition, the automatic coloring and styling
## of lines is reset by changing the axes properties @code{ColorOrderIndex},
## @code{LinestyleOrderIndex} to 1.
##
## If the optional argument @qcode{"reset"} is specified, delete all child
## objects, including those with hidden handles, and reset all axes properties
## to their defaults.  However, the following properties are not reset:
## @code{Position}, @code{Units}.
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then operate on
## this axes rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
## @seealso{clf, delete, reset}
