Hello,
I want to use switch to create a video with videowriter. I have written this piece of code. I want to use the cases to judge the rows which picture it has to insert as a frame, but if I do this, I get the following error:
SWITCH expression must be a scalar or character vector constant.
Error in FootSwitchDataAnalysis (line 120) switch M3(i,:);
How can I fix this?
M3 = zeros(6,4)
for i=1:size(M3,i);
switch M3(i,:)
case M3(i,:) == [0 0 0 0]
Frame = imread('FootVis.png')
case M3(i,:) == [1 1 1 1]
Frame = imread('FootVis3.png')
end
frame2insert = im2frame(Frame)
writeVideo(v,frame2insert)

Use if instead switch:
if all(M3(i,:)==[0 0 0 0])
if all(M3(i,:)==[1 1 1 1])

Thank you, for your quick answer, however:
I had a 16 elseif statements that I used before, because those cases are only 2 of the 16. That worked fine, but I wanted to use switch instead. This was the code:
for i=1:size(M3,i)
% if M3(i,:) == [0 0 0 0]
% A = imread('FootVis.jpeg');
% elseif M3(i,:) == [1 1 1 1]
% A = imread('FootVis2.png');
% elseif M3(i,:) == [1 1 1 0]
% A = imread('FootVis3.jpg');
% elseif [1 1 0 0]
% A = imread('FootVis.jpeg');
% elseif [1 1 0 1]
% A = imread('FootVis.jpeg');
% elseif [1 0 1 1]
% A = imread('FootVis.jpeg');
% elseif [1 0 1 0]
% A = imread('FootVis.jpeg');
% elseif [1 0 0 1]
% A = imread('FootVis.jpeg');
% elseif [1 0 0 0]
% A = imread('FootVis.jpeg');
% elseif [0 1 1 1]
% A = imread('FootVis.jpeg');
% elseif [0 1 1 0]
% A = imread('FootVis.jpeg');
% elseif [0 1 0 0]
% A = imread('FootVis.jpeg');
% elseif [0 1 0 1]
% A = imread('FootVis.jpeg');
% elseif [0 0 1 1]
% A = imread('FootVis.jpeg');
% elseif [0 0 1 0]
% A = imread('FootVis.jpeg');
% else [0 0 0 1]
% A = imread('FootVis.jpeg');
% end
% frame2insert = im2frame(A)
% writeVideo(v, frame2insert)

But as said in the error
SWITCH expression must be a scalar or character vector constant.
Therefore you need to take into consideration what I said. Use ismember for comparison of numeric arrays or use all with the structure that I said.
if all(M3(i,:)==[0 0 0 0])
or
if prod(ismember(M3(i,:),[0 0 0 0]))
