## @deftypefn {Function File} {@var{y} =} circshift (@var{x}, @var{n})
## Circularly shifts the values of the array @var{x}. @var{n} must be
## a vector of integers no longer than the number of dimensions in 
## @var{x}. The values of @var{n} can be either positive or negative,
## which determines the direction in which the values or @var{x} are
## shifted. If an element of @var{n} is zero, then the corresponding
## dimension of @var{x} will not be shifted. For example
##
## @example
## @group
## x = [1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6; 7, 8, 9];
## circshift (x, 1)
## @result{}  7, 8, 9
##     1, 2, 3
##     4, 5, 6
## circshift (x, -2)
## @result{}  7, 8, 9
##     1, 2, 3
##     4, 5, 6
## circshift (x, [0,1])
## @result{}  3, 1, 2
##     6, 4, 5
##     9, 7, 8
## @end group
## @end example
