You can use ravel to squash a [[matrix]] down to one dimension. The elements are listed in reading order—left to right, top to bottom. | You can use ravel to squash a [[matrix]] down to one dimension. The elements are listed in reading order—left to right, top to bottom. | ||

[[String]] notation cannot produce a single-character string since it produces a [[scalar]] character instead. Using Ravel on a list of characters in quotes ensures it will be a [[vector]] of characters. | [[String]] notation cannot produce a single-character string since it produces a [[scalar]] character instead.

[[Function axis|Axis specification]] may accept either a [[vector]] of two or more adjacent [[axis]] [[Index|indices]], or a single non-integer value. If multiple axes are given, they are merged into one axis whose length is the product of their lengths. If only one value is given, a new axis of length 1 is inserted in the indicated "gap" between axes. | [[Function axis|Axis specification]] may accept either a [[vector]] of two or more adjacent [[axis]] [[Index|indices]], or a single non-integer value.
