The convert(A, Vector) function converts the parameter A into a Vector.

The orientation of the result can be specified via the parameter o. The default orientation is column.

If A is a 1-dimensional array or Array, a list, a vector or a Vector, it is simply passed directly to the Vector constructor, together with any additional options, and the orientation, o, if provided.

If A is a matrix, Matrix, 2-D array or 2-D Array, its columns or rows are concatenated to form the result.  If the orientation parameter, o, is either not provided or is given as column, the columns of A are concatenated (from left to right) and a column Vector is returned.  If the orientation parameter is given as row, the rows of A are concatenated (from top to bottom) and a row Vector is returned.  Any additional parameters are passed to the Vector constructor when building the result.

Alternatively, use the ArrayTools[Copy] function. The ArrayTools[Copy] function copies data from an existing Matrix, Vector, or Array (source) to another Matrix, Vector, or Array (target).
