Hi, I have to convert a matrix in one column vector composed of all the columns of the original matrix. How can I do this? Thanks

You said "I have to convert a matrix in one column vector composed of all the columns of the original matrix." I thought you meant you had a column vector and had to convert it to a matrix having the same number of columns as the original matrix from where the column vector came. In other words, I thought you meant "I have to convert a matrix of one column vector INTO ONE composed of all the columns of the original matrix."
Seeing the answer you accepted, it appears that you actually meant "I have to convert a matrix INTO a one column vector that is composed of all the columns of the original matrix." Leaving out seemingly minor words completely changes the interpretation of the question, as does their placement in the sentence.

yourvector = yourmatrix(:);

m = reshape(1:18, [], 3) % Create 6 row by 3 column sample data
[oldHeight, columns] = size(m)
% Make the matrix taller by interpolating.
newHeight = 8;
[xq,yq] = meshgrid(1:columns, linspace(1, oldHeight, newHeight));
mTaller = interp2(m, xq, yq)
fprintf('The size of mTaller is %d rows by %d columns.\n\n', size(mTaller, 1), size(mTaller, 2))
% Make the matrix taller by interpolating.
newHeight = 3;
[xq,yq] = meshgrid(1:columns, linspace(1, oldHeight, newHeight));
mShorter = interp2(m, xq, yq)
fprintf('The size of mShorter is %d rows by %d columns.\n', size(mShorter, 1), size(mShorter, 2))
The first/top and last/bottom rows will have the same values, and more, or fewer, rows will be interpolated in between the top row and bottom row so that you have your new desired height.

For a more algorithmic solution:
% From matrix to vector
N = 10;
mat1 = rand(N);
vec1 = zeros(N*N,1);
for i=1:N
for j=1:N
vec1((i-1)*N + j) = mat1(i,j);
end
end
% From vector to matrix
N = 10;
vec2 = rand(N*N,1);
mat2 = zeros(N);
for i=1:N
for j=1:N
mat2(i,j) = vec2((i-1)*N + j);
end
end

If your column vector was "composed of all the columns of the original matrix", then use the reshape() command to turn it from a column vector back into the original 2D matrix.
matrix2D = reshape(columnVector, [rows columns]);
(The converse, how to get the column vector in the first place (what you may have done to get your vector) is accomplished like this columnVector = fullMatrix(:).)
