Convert matrix in single column/row vector

2,034 views (last 30 days)
Hi, I have to convert a matrix in one column/row vector composed of all the rows of the original matrix. How can I do this? Thanks. For example, to convert [1 2; 3 4] in to [1 2 3 4].

Take a look at reshape and transpose
A = [1 2 ; 3 4]
reshape(A,1,[])
transpose(A)
A.'
A(:)
reshape(A.',1,[])

%%%% Converting Matix to vector
A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9] % Example matrix
reshape(A,[],1) % convert matrix to column vector
reshape(A,1,[]) % convert matrix to row vector

'the same size', do you mean a vector length 256 or 65536? In the latter case, read the answer.

A = [1 2; 3 4];
B = A(:) % convert the matrix into a column vector
C = A(:)' % convert the matrix into a row matrix

A = [1 2; 3 4];
B = A';
C = reshape(B,1,[])
ans of C will be [1 2 3 4]

You can convert the following matrix to a vector using the following code.
input matrix:
0 1 0 2 3
4 5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12 13
output vector:
0 1 0 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
code:
vector=[];
for i=1:size(matrix,1)
vector=[vector matrix(i,:)];
end

Dynamically growing an array is very inefficient. You should consider transposing the array and using reshape.

Technically possible, but generally the least effective solution in Matlab. I would consider this bad practice.
