yes i know, the only problem is this:

i've got an array of NxM and i need to reshape it to 1x(N*M), that is,
i need to change the shape of a matrix in order to perform some
operations
afterwards, what is troubling me is that this is done in an .oct file
and there seem to not exist any  functionallaty that would allow me to 
do such thing..
as far as i found out the internal representation is indeed a vector,
Matrix class inherits from Array2 wich inherits from Array<T>, but the 
shape is defined by two variables d1 and d2 that are not protected 
but there are some comments in the code that say:
'This really need to be protected ( and they wil be in the future, so 
don't depend on them being here!)' ....
so the only way of really being shure of the code would be in having
some sort of method that would allow me to change them and not doing 
"mat.d1=N*M; mat.d2=1;", but i haven't 
found any 'till now... and this two variable seem to be checked
when i perform for example a sum of matrices... so i can't really do
any sort of operation whithout reshaping... this is my punishment.. :)

any comment?? :)

do you think i should cry out loud... JWEEEE hellppp???? :)

thanks
