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.
