Given a vector input, reshape creates its corresponding matrix one column at a time instead of one row at a time. For vertical and horizontal lines this is simple, as the pixel values corresponding to 90 degrees are either leftright or updown in a straight line. If the matrix is square, then line plots each column versus the vector. Direction of this line is determined by a vector v that is parallel to line l. Corresponding columns in u and v can flip their signs, since this does not affect the value of the expression a usv. Line specification matlab linespec line specification.
