# ChangeDimensions

Changes the order of the dimensions in an image

## SYNOPSIS

dip_Error dip_ChangeDimensions( image, neworder )

## FUNCTION

Re-orders the dimensions in an image, optionally removing or adding singleton dimensions (those dimensions with size 1), without copying the data. `neworder` is a list of the dimension numbers in the new order, for example (1,0,2) will swap the first two dimensions. Setting `neworder` to 0 removes all singleton dimensions without altering the order. This is useful, for example, after calling a function such as `Maximum` to compute a maximum projection over one dimension. The output image of `Maximum` keeps the dimensionality of the input image, and thus has a singleton dimension. To add singleton dimensions, use a negative value in the `neworder` array. For example, (0,1,-1) adds a 3rd dimension of size 1 to the image.
