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.

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
