: rot90 (A)
: rot90 (A, k)

Rotate array by 90 degree increments.

Return a copy of A 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 k rotate the matrix in a clockwise direction. For example, 

rot90 ([1, 2; 3, 4], -1)
    ⇒  3  1
        4  2

rotates the given matrix clockwise by 90 degrees. The following are all equivalent statements: 

rot90 ([1, 2; 3, 4], -1)
rot90 ([1, 2; 3, 4], 3)
rot90 ([1, 2; 3, 4], 7)

The rotation is always performed on the plane of the first two dimensions, i.e., rows and columns. To perform a rotation on any other plane, use rotdim.
