squeeze - Remove singleton dimensions

Syntax

B = squeeze(A)

Description

B = squeeze(A) returns an array B with the same elements as A, but with all singleton dimensions removed. A singleton dimension is any dimension for which size(A,dim) = 1. Two-dimensional arrays are unaffected by squeeze; if A is a row or column vector or a scalar (1-by-1) value, then B = A.

Examples

Consider the 2-by-1-by-3 array Y = rand(2,1,3). This array has a singleton column dimension — that is, there's only one column per page.

Y =

Y(:,:,1) =      Y(:,:,2) =
       0.5194          0.0346
       0.8310          0.0535

Y(:,:,3) =
       0.5297
       0.6711

The command Z = squeeze(Y) yields a 2-by-3 matrix:

Z =
    0.5194    0.0346    0.5297
    0.8310    0.0535    0.6711

Consider the 1-by-1-by-5 array mat=repmat(1,[1,1,5]). This array has only one scalar value per page.

mat =

mat(:,:,1) =		mat(:,:,2) =

     1							 1

mat(:,:,3) =   mat(:,:,4) =
  
     1							 1

mat(:,:,5) =

     1

The command squeeze(mat) yields a 5-by-1 matrix:

squeeze(mat)

ans =

     1
     1
     1
     1
     1

size(squeeze(mat))

ans =

    5     1
