Elegant way of "sending to the next row" in a matrix

Hello,

I have a 1x36 matrix that I want to cut in bits. In my specific case I want to obtain a 6x6 matrix from this 1x36 matrix. Every 6 column of the original 1x36 matrix I want to go to a next row.

How can I do this in an elegant way?

Thanks!

I have not the same result and using a transpose I think that I get what you want.

 A=1:10;
 B=reshape(A, [5,2])'

So, B =

     1     2     3     4     5
     6     7     8     9    10

Note that you should use the non-conjugate transpose .' rather than a simple '.

In fact it is a good habit to always use the non-conjugate transpose unless you specifically need the complex conjugate.

Hello,

Do you try to use the "reshape" function?

[Matt]

Yes, but it doesn't give me what I want. For example if I have the following matrix (as per Matlab example):

A = 1:10;

If I reshape it with this command:

B = reshape(A,[5,2]);

It will give me:

1 3 5 7 9
2 4 6 8 10

But what I want is:

1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10

 B=reshape(A,[5,2])

means B will be a (5*2) matrix, you're doing something wrong Matt, just clear your workspace variables and try again. as Anthony said you'll get the result you want using:

 A=1:10;
 B=reshape(A,[5,2]);
 C=B';

C is what you want, and B is a (5*2) matrix

B =

     1     6
     2     7
     3     8
     4     9
     5    10

C =

     1     2     3     4     5
     6     7     8     9    10
