+%%
+%% Description
+%% drawOrientedBox(OBOX)
+%% Draws an oriented rectangle (or bounding box) on the current axis.
+%% OBOX is a 1-by-5 row vector containing box center, dimension (length
+%% and width) and orientation (in degrees):
+%% OBOX = [CX CY LENGTH WIDTH THETA].
+%%
+%% When OBOX is a N-by-5 array, the N boxes are drawn.
+%%
+%% HB = drawOrientedBox(...)
+%% Returns a handle to the created graphic object(s). Object style can be
+%% modified using syntaw like:
+%% set(HB, 'color', 'g', 'linewidth', 2);
+%%
+%% @seealso{drawPolygon, drawRect, drawBox}
