reshape - Reshape array

Syntax

B = reshape(A,m,n)
B = reshape(A,m,n,p,...)
B = reshape(A,[m n p ...])
B = reshape(A,...,[],...)
B = reshape(A,siz)

Description

B = reshape(A,m,n) returns the m -by-n matrix B whose elements are taken column-wise from A . An error results if A does not have m*n elements.

B = reshape(A,m,n,p,...) or B = reshape(A,[m n p ...]) returns an n-dimensional array with the same elements as A but reshaped to have the size m -by-n -by-p -by-... . The product of the specified dimensions, m*n*p* ..., must be the same as prod(size(A)) .

B = reshape(A,...,[],...) calculates the length of the dimension represented by the placeholder [] , such that the product of the dimensions equals prod(size(A)) . The value of prod(size(A)) must be evenly divisible by the product of the specified dimensions. You can use only one occurrence of [] .

B = reshape(A,siz) returns an n-dimensional array with the same elements as A , but reshaped to siz , a vector representing the dimensions of the reshaped array. The quantity prod(siz) must be the same as prod(size(A)) .

Examples

Reshape a 3 -by-4 matrix into a 2 -by-6 matrix.

A =

    1    4    7    10

    2    5    8    11

    3    6    9    12

          

B = reshape(A,2,6)

          

B =

    1    3    5    7    9   11

    2    4    6    8   10   12

B = reshape(A,2,[])

          

B =

    1    3    5    7    9   11

    2    4    6    8   10   12
