- ## @deftypefn {Function File} {} reshape (@var{a}, @var{m}, @var{n})
- ## Return a matrix with @var{m} rows and @var{n} columns whose elements are
- ## taken from the matrix @var{a}. To decide how to order the elements,
- ## Octave pretends that the elements of a matrix are stored in column-major
- ## order (like Fortran arrays are stored).
- ##
- ## For example,
- ##
- ## @example
- ## @group
- ## reshape ([1, 2, 3, 4], 2, 2)
- ## @result{} 1 3
- ## 2 4
- ## @end group
- ## @end example
- ##
- ## If the variable @code{do_fortran_indexing} is nonzero, the
- ## @code{reshape} function is equivalent to
- ##
- ## @example
- ## @group
- ## retval = zeros (m, n);
- ## retval (:) = a;
- ## @end group
- ## @end example
- ##
- ## @noindent
- ## but it is somewhat less cryptic to use @code{reshape} instead of the
- ## colon operator. Note that the total number of elements in the original
- ## matrix must match the total number of elements in the new matrix.
- ## @end deftypefn
