Question

hi Matlabers,

say I have a matrix

[1 2 3 4;5 6 7 8;9 10 11 12; 13 14 15 16]

how can I turn this matrix so all the rows are combined into one. one after the other.

result

[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16]?

thanks in advance. cheers SN

Answer 1

You can use reshape command:

a= [1 2 3 4;5 6 7 8;9 10 11 12; 13 14 15 16]

b = reshape(a,1,16)

or simply

b = a(:)'

Hope it helps!!!
