function hndlaxis(action)
%HNDLAXIS Demonstrates Handle Graphics for axes in MATLAB.
%   This window allows you to assemble a string                      
%   of MATLAB commands that results in a plot in                     
%   the axis in the upper left corner.                               
%                                                                    
%   By playing with the popup menus on the right                     
%   side of the window, you can adjust the scaling                   
%   for the axes, the grid lines, the direction of the               
%   plot and the color of the axes using Handle                      
%   Graphics.                                                        
%                                                                    
%   The MiniCommand Window in the lower                              
%   right shows the list of commands that create                     
%   the plot. If you like, you can even directly edit                
%   the commands in the MiniCommand Window.                          
%   Type control-return to execute code in the                       
%   MiniCommand Window.
