I want to mirror data matrix on the diagonal.
Input:
y
|
____ x
Expected output:
x
|_y
I know you these transformations but I cannot get mirror around the diagonal (y=x line from (0,0) to (1,1))
I = imread('onion.png');
I2 = flipdim(I ,2); %# horizontal flip
I3 = flipdim(I ,1); %# vertical flip
I4 = flipdim(I3,2); %# horizontal+vertical flip

Can you give a simple example with numeric array of the "mirroring" you need? Is it something like:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
to
9 6 3
8 5 2
7 4 1
?

Yes, your example is valid.

I2 = rot90(fliplr(I),-1);

Yes. This works on n-d arrays. The other answers involving transpose do not work in arrays greater than 2 dimensions, unless you want to iterate thru the other dimensions.

To add to the confusion, depending on what version you use, this may still not work with arrays that are more than 2D. In older versions, rot90(), fliplr() and flipud() are limited to work only on 2D arrays. It might not be that relevant today, but this is not a current thread.

In the case described before it is:
A=[1 2 3;4 5 6;7 8 9]
rot90(A,2)'
which gives:
A= 1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
to
9 6 3
8 5 2
7 4 1

I can't see why it shouldn't work... You must give me an example, otherwise I cannot understand. No problems with rectangular matrices.

The transpose operator doesn't work on anything other than a 2D array, but you can still use permute().
A = repmat([1 2 3;4 5 6;7 8 9],[1 1 3])
A =
A(:,:,1) = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A(:,:,2) = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A(:,:,3) = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
B = permute(rot90(A,2),[2 1 3]) % use permute()
B =
B(:,:,1) = 9 6 3 8 5 2 7 4 1 B(:,:,2) = 9 6 3 8 5 2 7 4 1 B(:,:,3) = 9 6 3 8 5 2 7 4 1
C = pagetranspose(rot90(A,2)) % or use pagetranspose() (R2020b or newer)
C =
C(:,:,1) = 9 6 3 8 5 2 7 4 1 C(:,:,2) = 9 6 3 8 5 2 7 4 1 C(:,:,3) = 9 6 3 8 5 2 7 4 1
That said, if the OP isn't aware of the array dimensionality, then there are probably other problems.

you can do the following:
first, transpose the matrix
A = table.';
Flip it horizontally
A = flip (A,1);
then, flip it verticaly
A = flip (A,2);
