About row and column swapping in a matrix

13 views (last 30 days)
Hi Guys. I have a question which probably could be easy or might have built in function but I kinda stuck on it. Attached is a 3x3 matrix as an image as appeared below. I want to swap the rows and columns as shown here and save each sequence of swapping. I have a very big file to handle, i have just shown a small sample here. I tried with a loop but could not get it working. I would greatly appreciate any efforts.
Thanks Rafiq

I would just use circshift:
A = [0 1 2; 1 1.4 2.2; 2 2.2 2.8];
B = circshift(A, [-1 -1])
B =
1.4 2.2 1
2.2 2.8 2
1 2 0

how can I swap 6x6 matrix middle two rows.A = [ 1 2 3;4 5 6;7 8 9;10 11 12;13 14 15;16 17 18]
The output will be:B = [ 1 2 3;4 5 6;10 11 12;7 8 9;13 14 15;16 17 18]

To swap column J with column K you would use
newArray = oldArray;
newArray(:,[K J]) = newArray(:,[J K]];
For swapping rows,
newArray([K J],:) = newArray([J K],:);

Thanks Walter. I actually used this technique and used a loop. The problem is when you swap the columns, all the columns are swapped and same with rows. If you look at my matrix, first I want to swap all the columns (top 3 matrix), then I want to swap first row with second row and swap all the columns (middle 3 matrix), and finally I want to swap row 2 with row 3 and swap all the columns again (the last three matrix). My loop is not working the way I want it. Thanks for looking into the problem. I appreciate it.
