Non square matrix transpose ?

[Jose Miguel Buenaposada Biencinto <jmbuena at dia dot fi dot upm dot es>]

Hello !

First of all I have to ask you to answer to me directly because I'm not
in the list.

I'm not a mathematician, only a poor computer scientist ;-), so I'm
pretty sure to make a trivial question. Anyway I need some help
with gsl.

What is the best way to get the transpose of a non square matrix using
gsl ? I can figure out how to do it using too much gsl matrix functions
in
a loop but, maybe there is a better solution. I'm not familiar with BLAS

and I only want to use gsl for some machine vision algoritms so I can
not understand the reason to only provide an in place matrix transpose
function only suitable for square matrices.

Can anybody explain me this subject ?

Thanks for this great library.
Regards.
