Parameters

Method of constructing the output matrix by permuting rows or columns of the input.

When the Permute parameter is set to:

  • Rows –– The block uses the rows of A to create a matrix that has the same column dimension. Input P is a length-L vector whose elements determine where each row from A must be placed in the L-by-N output matrix.

    y = [A(P(1),:) ; A(P(2),:) ; A(P(3),:) ; ... ; A(P(end),:)] % Equivalent MATLAB code

    For row permutation, the block treats the length-M unoriented vector input at the port A as an M-by-1 matrix.

  • Columns –– The block uses the columns of A to create a matrix that has the same row dimension. Input P is a length-L vector whose elements determine where each column from A must be placed in the M-by-L output matrix.

    % Equivalent MATLAB code y = [A(:,P(1)) A(:,P(2)) A(:,P(3)) ... A(:,P(end))]

    For column permutation, the block treats the length-N unoriented vector input at port A as a 1-by-N matrix.

When set to One-based, a value of 1 in the permutation vector P refers to the first row or column of the input matrix A. When set to Zero-based, a value of 0 in P refers to the first row or column of A.

Response to an invalid index value. When an index value in input P references a nonexistent row or column of matrix A, the block reacts as specified in this parameter. These options are available:

  • Clip index –– Clip the index to the nearest valid value (1 or M for row permutation and 1 or N for column permutation) and do not issue an alert. Example: For a 3-by-7 input matrix, a column index of 9 is clipped to 7 and a row index of -2 is clipped to 1.

  • Clip and warn –– Display a warning message in the MATLAB® Command Window and clip the index as described in the preceding bullet.

  • Generate error –– Display an error dialog box and terminate the simulation.

Tunable: Yes

Option to display an error dialog box and terminate the simulation when the length of the permutation vector P is not equal to the number of rows or columns of the input matrix A.

You can choose to open an error dialog box and terminate the simulation by setting this parameter to on.

The application envisioned for this example is automatic lane tracking on a road. We will show how to fit a polynomial to noisy data representing the lane boundary of the road ahead of a vehicle.
