hello,

i am new to matlab.. i am finiding difficulty in combining arreys in
rows n columns

i have a matrix A of size 2*2, i can access it on 3rd dimension

e.g A(:,:,1)=(34 35 ; 36 37)
A(:,:,2)=(4 5 ; 6 7)
..
..
..

i want to combine in such a way that if A has 9 such 2*2 small matrics
then the output should be a matrix B where

B=[ A(:,:,1) A(:,:,4) A(:,:,7)
      A(:,:,2) A(:,:,5) A(:,:,8)
      A(:,:,3) A(:,:,6) A(:,:,9)]

if anyone has solution ....please post it
thanks in advance

If I understood correctly, A is not "of size 2*2" but actually a 2-by-2-by-9 array. To rearrange the planes into the format you can apply some trickery like this

A = zeros(2,2,9) ; for k = 1:9, A(:,:,k) = k ; end % test matrix A
B = cell2mat(reshape(mat2cell(A,2,2,ones(1,9)),3,3))
