PERMUTE PERMUTE Array Permutation Function Usage The permute function rearranges the contents of an array according to the specified permutation vector. The syntax for its use is y = permute(x,p) where p is a permutation vector - i.e., a vector containing the integers 1...ndims(x) each occuring exactly once. The resulting array y contains the same data as the array x, but ordered according to the permutation. This function is a generalization of the matrix transpose operation.
