MATLAB: How transform a vector into a Matrix

manipulationmatrixtransformvector

Hello, I am trying to transform a line vector of length x² to a matrix size x*x. For example,
 Vector = [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16]
and I want
 Matrix = [ 1 5 9 13; 2 6 10 14; 3 7 11 15; 4 8 12 16]
This is only an example, I am trying to write a function for any vector. Thank you.

Use reshape:
>> V = [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16];
>> M = reshape(V,4,4)
M =
    1    5    9   13
    2    6   10   14
    3    7   11   15
    4    8   12   16
