## Link the axis limits of 2-D plots such that a change in one is propagated
## to the others.
##
## The axes handles to be linked are passed as the first argument @var{hax}.
##
## The optional second argument is a string which defines which axis limits
## will be linked.  The possible values for @var{optstr} are:
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"x"}
## Link x-axes
##
## @item @qcode{"y"}
## Link y-axes
##
## @item @qcode{"xy"} (default)
## Link both axes
##
## @item @qcode{"off"}
## Turn off linking
## @end table
##
## If unspecified the default is to link both X and Y axes.
##
## When linking, the limits from the first axes in @var{hax} are applied to the
## other axes in the list.  Subsequent changes to any one of the axes will be
## propagated to the others.
