matlab 的lines,matlab中houghlines函数中的例子，有些不懂，请给位大侠指点！

I  = imread('circuit.tif');

rotI = imrotate(I,33,'crop');%为什么要旋转？

BW = edge(rotI,'canny');

[H,T,R] = hough(BW);

imshow(H,[],'XData',T,'YData',R,'InitialMagnification','fit');

xlabel('\theta'), ylabel('\rho');

axis on, axis normal, hold on;

P  = houghpeaks(H,5,'threshold',ceil(0.3*max(H(:))));  % 此处的H(:)是什么意思？

x = T(P(:,2)); y = R(P(:,1)); %这一句是怎么回事儿？一点头绪都没有，抓瞎了。

plot(x,y,'s','color','white');

% Find lines and plot them

lines = houghlines(BW,T,R,P,'FillGap',5,'MinLength',7);

figure, imshow(rotI), hold on

max_len = 0; %这个变量怎么回事儿呢？感觉来的可突然，也不知道是干什么用的。

for k = 1:length(lines)  % lines是什么？矩阵吗？什么矩阵？

xy = [lines(k).point1; lines(k).point2];% point1怎么回事儿？lines(k)

plot(xy(:,1),xy(:,2),'LineWidth',2,'Color','green');

% plot beginnings and ends of lines

plot(xy(1,1),xy(1,2),'x','LineWidth',2,'Color','yellow');

plot(xy(2,1),xy(2,2),'x','LineWidth',2,'Color','red');

% determine the endpoints of the longest line segment

len = norm(lines(k).point1 - lines(k).point2);

if ( len > max_len)

max_len = len;

xy_long = xy;

end

end

% highlight the longest line segment

plot(xy_long(:,1),xy_long(:,2),'LineWidth',2,'Color','cyan');

请各位大侠帮帮忙！不胜感激。
