## @deftypefn {Function File} {} zigzag (@var{mtrx})
## Returns zigzag walk-off of the elements of @var{mtrx}.
## Essentially it walks the matrix in a Z-fashion.
##
## mat =
## 1 4 7
## 2 5 8
## 3 6 9
## then zigzag(mat) gives the output,
## [1 2 4 7 5 3 6 8 9], by walking as
## shown in the figure from pt 1 in that order of output.
## The argument @var{mtrx} should be a MxN matrix
##
## An example of zagzig use:
## @example
## @group
## mat = reshape(1:9,3,3);
## zigzag(mat)
## ans =[1 2 4 7 5 3 6 8 9]
##
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @end deftypefn
## @seealso{zagzig}

##We create a matrix of the same size as mtrx where odd elements are
##1, others 0.
odd=kron(ones(ceil(n/2)),eye(2))((1:n(1)),(1:n(2)));
##We transpose even elements only.
mtrx = mtrx.*odd + (mtrx.*(1-odd))';
##Now we mirror the matrix. The desired vector is now the
##concatenation of the diagonals.

##Picking out the diagonals.
