TRANSPOSE

        [VECTOR\]TRANSPOSE Input Output Order

    Perform tranposition of disk data files (GDF or FITS) or SIC variables.

    Disk data files:

        GDF or FITS files storing tables or N-dimensional cubes  are  trans-
        posed to GDF files according to the transposition order specified by
        Order (21, 312, 213, etc...). For example:
            VECTOR\TRANSPOSE TEST.VLM TEST.LMV 231
        The transposition takes place in  RAM  memory  if  the  sic  logical
        SPACE_GILDAS  (in MegaBytes unit) is big enough, else it takes place
        on disk with more computation and disk access costs.

    SIC variables:

        For example
            DEFINE REAL A[10,2] B[2,10]
            VECTOR\TRANSPOSE A B 21
        will transpose the A SIC variable to the B SIC variable.  SIC  vari-
        ables  must be of the same type. If A and B are IMAGE variables, the
        header is also transposed accordingly.
