[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45680] permute rows or columns

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #45680 (project octave):

The documentation is pretty clear that you need to specify the order of all
dimensions of an N-d array.  Since for Octave and Matlab arrays are always at
least 2-D the second argument must have a minimum of two entries.

You might check how Matlab handles this.  If they have an exception then we
might do it to for Matlab compatibility.  The documentation is at
http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/permute.html, but doesn't reference
any thing like this.

Also, if I was to introduce an exception, I would think that


permute (A, 1)


would leave the matrix unchanged since it is suggested to put the first
dimension of the original matrix in the first dimension slot in the result
matrix.
