Given a (Nx3) sequence of RGB colors, I want to create a (numRowBlocks x numColBlocks x 3) image comprising (blockSize x blockSize) blocks of those colors in a (numRowBlocks x numColBlocks) pattern.i.e. for this signature:
 makeColorBlocks(blockSize, numColBlocks, numRowBlocks, RGBvec)(Using a weird RGB to make the point)<pre> >> makeColorBlocks(2, 3, 2, [1 11 10;2 22 20; 3 33 30; 4 44 40; 5 55 50; 6 66 60])</pre><pre class="language-matlab">ans(:,:,1) =
</pre><pre> 1 1 2 2 3 3
 1 1 2 2 3 3
 4 4 5 5 6 6
 4 4 5 5 6 6</pre><pre class="language-matlab">ans(:,:,2) =
</pre><pre> 11 11 22 22 33 33
 11 11 22 22 33 33
 44 44 55 55 66 66
 44 44 55 55 66 66</pre><pre class="language-matlab">ans(:,:,3) =
</pre><pre> 10 10 20 20 30 30
 10 10 20 20 30 30
 40 40 50 50 60 60
 40 40 50 50 60 60</pre>Though it can not be mechanically graded as such, I am looking for easy to read an understand code. Something easy to understand is preferred. Thanks to <a href="http://blogs.mathworks.com/pick/">Brett</a> for the question.

whoops, didn't see your thing about "easy to understand code."
