-function camproj()
-%Undocumented Utility Function
+function varargout = camproj(varargin)
+%Set or get camera projection mode (Octave stub)
+%
+% SYNOPSIS:
+%   camproj('perspective')
+%   camproj('orthographic')
+%   mode = camproj()
+%
+% DESCRIPTION:
+%   Octave-compatible stub for camproj. This function provides basic
+%   compatibility but does not actually change the camera projection in
+%   Octave, as this feature is not fully supported. The function silently
+%   accepts the commands without error to allow scripts to run.
+%
+% NOTE:
+%   In Octave, perspective vs orthographic projection may not be fully
+%   supported or may behave differently than in MATLAB. This stub allows
+%   code to run without errors, but visual output may differ.

-function makehgtform()
-%Undocumented Utility Function
+function T = makehgtform(varargin)
+%Create 4x4 transformation matrix for graphics
+%
+% SYNOPSIS:
+%   T = makehgtform('xrotate', angle)
+%   T = makehgtform('yrotate', angle)
+%   T = makehgtform('zrotate', angle)
+%
+% DESCRIPTION:
+%   Octave-compatible implementation of makehgtform for basic rotations.
+%   Creates a 4x4 homogeneous transformation matrix for graphics objects.
+%
+% PARAMETERS:
+%   'xrotate', angle - Rotation around X-axis by angle (in radians)
+%   'yrotate', angle - Rotation around Y-axis by angle (in radians)
+%   'zrotate', angle - Rotation around Z-axis by angle (in radians)
+%
+% RETURNS:
+%   T - 4x4 homogeneous transformation matrix
