Details:

Using box(ax,'on') or box(ax,'off') returns usage when the usage shows that as
a supported method:


octave:4> help box
`box' is a function from the file /usr/share/octave/3.6.0/m/plot/box.m

 -- Function File:  box (ARG)
 -- Function File:  box (H, ...)
     Control the display of a border around the plot.  The argument may
     be either `"on"' or `"off"'.  If it is omitted, the current box
     state is toggled.

     See also: grid



Using grid.m as a template I patched (attached) box.m to detect an axis handle
like grid does.  The documentation of box.m was also modified slightly to
bring it closer to that of grid.m.
