circshift

Arguments

A, B

row, column, matrix or 2D array, hypermatrix or ND-array of any number of dimensions and of any sizes. B has the shape, sizes and type of A. Custom types are accepted provided that size(), insertion, and extraction operators are defined for A's type.

shift

unique positive or negative integer: the shift to apply to indices along the first non-singleton dimension, or to linear indices of A components if 0 is used as third input argument.

shifts

vector of positive or negative integers: shifts to apply on ranges along directions specified in dims (or 1:length(shifts) by default).

dims

Vector of integers in [1, ndims(A)]: indices of A dimensions along which the respective shifts must be performed.

Description

circshift(A, shift) shifts along the first dimension of A of size > 1.

circshift(A, shift, 0) circularly shifts A components by shift positions.

circshift(A, shifts) circularly shifts indices of A rows by shifts(1), indices of A columns by shifts(2), indices of A layers by shifts(3), etc.

circshift(A, shifts, dims) circularly shifts A by shifts(1) along its dimension #dims(1), by shifts(2) along its dimension #dims(2), etc.
