## Move the camera and adjust its properties to look at objects.
##
## When the input is a handle @var{h}, the camera is set to point toward the
## center of the bounding box of @var{h}.  The camera's position is adjusted so
## the bounding box approximately fills the field of view.
##
## This command fixes the camera's viewing direction
## (@code{camtarget() - campos()}), camera up vector (@pxref{XREFcamup,,camup})
## and viewing angle (@pxref{XREFcamva,,camva}).  The camera target
## (@pxref{XREFcamtarget,,camtarget}) and camera position
## (@pxref{XREFcampos,,campos}) are changed.
##
##
## If the argument is a list @var{handle_list}, then a single bounding box for
## all the objects is computed and the camera is then adjusted as above.
##
## If the argument is an axis object @var{hax}, then the children of the axis
## are used as @var{handle_list}.  When called with no inputs, it uses the
## current axis (@pxref{XREFgca,,gca}).
##
