+%COLLINCOMB Linear combination of matrix columns.
+%  Y = COLLINCOMB(A,COLS,X) computes a linear combination of the columns of
+%  the matrix A. The column indices are specified in the vector COLS, and
+%  the correspoinding coefficients are specified in the vector X. The
+%  vectors COLS and X must be of the same length. 
+%  
+%  The call Y = COLLINCOMB(A,COLS,X) is essentially equivalent to
+%
+%         Y = A(:,COLS)*X .
+%
+%  However, it is implemented much more efficiently.
+%
+%  Y = COLLINCOMB(A,ROWS,COLS,X) only works on the rows of A specified
+%  in ROWS, returning a vector of length equal to ROWS. This call is
+%  essentially equivalent to the command
+%
+%         Y = A(ROWS,COLS)*X .
+%
+%  See also ROWLINCOMB.
