23 ## Return the Pascal matrix of order @var{n} if @code{@var{t} = 0}.
24 ## @var{t} defaults to 0. Return lower triangular Cholesky factor of
25 ## the Pascal matrix if @code{@var{t} = 1}. This matrix is its own
26 ## inverse, that is @code{pascal (@var{n}, 1) ^ 2 == eye (@var{n})}.
27 ## If @code{@var{t} = 2}, return a transposed and permuted version of
28 ## @code{pascal (@var{n}, 1)}, which is the cube-root of the identity
29 ## matrix. That is @code{pascal (@var{n}, 2) ^ 3 == eye (@var{n})}.
