## Usage

```javascript
var toRotl90 = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/to-rotl90' );
```

#### toRotl90( x, k )

Returns a new [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] where a matrix (or a stack of matrices) is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.

```javascript
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/array' );

var x = array( [ [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ], [ 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] ] );
// returns <ndarray>[ [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ], [ 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] ]

var y = toRotl90( x, 1 );
// returns <ndarray>[ [ 3.0, 6.0 ], [ 2.0, 5.0 ], [ 1.0, 4.0 ] ]
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **x**: input [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor].
-   **k**: number of times to rotate by 90 degrees. Positive values rotate counterclockwise. Negative values rotate clockwise.

## Notes

-   If `k > 0`, the function rotates the matrix counterclockwise.
-   If `k < 0`, the function rotates the matrix clockwise.
-   If provided an [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] with fewer than two dimensions, the function does not perform a rotation and simply returns a copy of the input [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor].
