MATLAB: Joining multiple 1xn cell arrays into mxn cell array

Question

Hello I have a function that returns a containers.Map object with values as 1xn cell arrays. For example

map=containers.Map({'OBJECT', 'COLOR', 'WGT'},{{'obj1','obj2','obj3'},{'red','blue','green'},{1.2,2.54,8.12}});

The values in map are 3 1×3 cells.

>> map.values
ans = 
    {1x3 cell}    {1x3 cell}    {1x3 cell}

I would like to join the 3 1×3 cell data into 3×3 cell data like this

   >> transpose([{'obj1','obj2','obj3'};{'red','blue','green'};{1.2,2.54,8.12}])
   ans = 
    'obj1'    'red'      [1.2000]
    'obj2'    'blue'     [2.5400]
    'obj3'    'green'    [8.1200]

How do I do this?

Thanks Bhaskar

Answer 1

One possibility:

v = map.values;
vc = [v{1}', v{2}', v{3}']
vc = 
    'red'      'obj1'    [1.2000e+000]
    'blue'     'obj2'    [2.5400e+000]
    'green'    'obj3'    [8.1200e+000]
