Thread Subject:

parsing a matrix

Hello,

I have written the following code to parse a matrix of size 3x1549849, each row to be converted to 19 matrices of size 271x301.
[Nr,Nc]=size(N);
Ncol=Nc/number_of_images;

xcomp='Nx';ycomp='Ny';zcomp='Nz';
start_Ncol=1;
for(jj=1:number_of_images)
    
    Nx=strcat(xcomp,int2str(jj));
    Ny=strcat(ycomp,int2str(jj));
    Nz=strcat(zcomp,int2str(jj));
    Nx=N(1,start_Ncol:Ncol);
    Ny=N(2,start_Ncol:Ncol);
    Nz=N(3,start_Ncol:Ncol);
    start_Ncol=Ncol+1;
    Ncol=Ncol*(jj+1);
    N_x(jj)=transpose(reshape(Nx,column,row));
    N_y(jj)=transpose(reshape(Ny,column,row));
    N_z(jj)=transpose(reshape(Nz,column,row));
    
end

i get the following error
??? In an assignment A(I) = B, the number of elements in B and
 I must be the same.
 i want to index N_x and so on so that i know which matrix i have to address which has been formed from the original matrix.

Bye

That's correct. On the last three lines of your FOR loop over jj, Nx, Ny,
and Nz will each be row-by-column. However, jj is a scalar. Therefore
you're trying to force a row-by-column matrix into ONE element of N_x, N_y,
or N_z -- and you can't squeeze a matrix like that.

Use a cell array or use an N-D array and fill in each page as appropriate:

M = zeros(2, 3, 4);
x = ceil(5*rand(2, 3));
for k = 1:4
    M(:, :, k) = x.^k;
end

Thank you i realized that after i had posted the problem.
