## @deftypefn {Function File} {} rot90 (@var{x}, @var{n})
## Return a copy of @var{x} with the elements rotated counterclockwise in
## 90-degree increments.  The second argument is optional, and specifies
## how many 90-degree rotations are to be applied (the default value is 1).
## Negative values of @var{n} rotate the matrix in a clockwise direction.
## For example,
##
## @example
## @group
## rot90 ([1, 2; 3, 4], -1)
##      @result{}  3  1
##          4  2
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## rotates the given matrix clockwise by 90 degrees.  The following are all
## equivalent statements:
##
## @example
## @group
## rot90 ([1, 2; 3, 4], -1)
## rot90 ([1, 2; 3, 4], 3)
## rot90 ([1, 2; 3, 4], 7)
## @end group
## @end example
##
## Due to the difficulty of defining an axis about which to rotate the 
## matrix @code{rot90} only work with 2-D arrays.  To rotate N-d arrays
## use @code{rotdim} instead.
## @end deftypefn
