How can I use randperm for a nx2 matrix?

"randperm" only takes 1 scalar input argument. Can you give a sample of an input nx2 matrix AND what you would expect the output to be?

If you want to randomly permute the rows, do something like the following.
n = 5;
A = reshape(1:2*n, n, 2)
B = A(randperm(n), :)
If you want to randomly permute all elements, do something like this instead.
C = reshape(A(randperm(2*n)), n, 2)

@Miriam, to permute the columns separately do this.
D = A;
D(:,1) = D(randperm(n),1);
D(:,2) = D(randperm(n),2);

I see, hmm.. actually I wanted to permute the two columns seperately, but I guess this will not work with randperm. But the suggestions were very helpful anyway! Thanks!

You can use FEX: Shuffle:
A = rand(100, 2);
Dim = 1;
B = Shuffle(A, Dim);
