% 
% NRBPERMUTE: Rearrange the directions of a NURBS volume or surface.
% 
% Calling Sequence:
% 
%   tvol = nrbpermute(vol,order)
%
% INPUT:
% 
%   vol		: NURBS volume or surface, see nrbmak.
%   order   : the order to rearrange the directions of the NURBS entity.
%
% OUTPUT:
% 
%   tvol	: NURBS volume or surface with rearranged directions.
% 
% Description:
% 
%   Utility function that rearranges the directions of a NURBS volume or
%   surface. For surfaces, nrbpermute(srf,[1 2]) is the same as
%   nrbtransp(srf). NURBS curves cannot be rearranged.
%
% Example:
%
%    nrbpermute (vol, [1 3 2])
