ndtrans.m

JLAB is a set of Matlab functions I have written or co-written over the past fifteen years for the p

function[y]=ndtrans(x,n)
%NDTRANS  Generalized transpose of a potentially multidimensional vector.
%
%   Y=NDTRANS(X,N), where X is an array having exactly one
%   non-singleton dimension, 'transposes' X so that the
%   non-singleton dimension is oriented along dimension N.
%	
%   When X is complex-valued, the sign of the imaginary terms in Y
%   will be the same as in X.  NDTRANS is a therefore a conjugate
%   transpose operator, generalized to multiple dimensions.
%
%   Y=NDTRANS(X) returns a column vector for any orientation
%   of the input array X.
