## Set or get where the camera is pointed.
##
## The camera target is a point in space where the camera is pointing.  Usually,
## it is determined automatically based on the scene:
## @example
## @group
## hf = figure();
## sphere (36)
## v = camtarget ()
##   @result{} v =
##       0   0   0
## @end group
## @end example
##
## We can turn the camera to point at a new target:
## @example
## @group
## camtarget ([1 1 1])
## camtarget ()
##   @result{}   1   1   1
## @end group
## @end example
##
## Having done so, the camera target @var{mode} is manual:
## @example
## @group
## camtarget ("mode")
##   @result{} manual
## @end group
## @end example
## This means, for example, adding new objects to the scene will not retarget
## the camera:
## @example
## @group
## hold on;
## peaks ()
## camtarget ()
##   @result{}   1   1   1
## @end group
## @end example
##
## We can reset it to be automatic:
## @example
## @group
## @c doctest: +XFAIL
## @c https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?44503
## camtarget ("auto")
## camtarget ()
##   @result{}   0   0   0.76426
## close (hf)
## @end group
## @end example
##
## By default, these commands affect the current axis; alternatively, an axis
## can be specified by the optional argument @var{ax}.
##
