Referring to Reshape row wise w/ different starting/ending elements number @Divakar came with a nice solution but, what if the number of columns is not always the same?
Sample run -
>> A'
ans =
4 9 8 9 6 1 8 9 7 7 7 4 6 2 7 1
>> out
out =
4 9 8 9 0 0
6 1 8 9 7 7
7 4 6 2 7 1
I took only the first 4 terms of A and put them in out, then fill the rest 2 empty cell with 0's. So the ncols = [4 6 6]
. Unfortunately vet2mat
doesn't allow vector as columns number.
Any suggestions?
You can employ bsxfun
's masking capability here -
%// Random inputs
A = randi(9,1,15)
ncols = [4 6 5]
%// Initialize output arary of transposed size as compared to the desired
%// output arary size, as we need to insert values into it row-wise and MATLAB
%// follows column-major indexing
out = zeros(max(ncols),numel(ncols));
mask = bsxfun(@le,[1:max(ncols)]',ncols); %//'# valid positions mask for output
out(mask) = A; %// insert input array elements
out = out.' %//'# transpose output back to the desired output array size
Code run -
A =
5 3 7 2 7 2 4 6 8 1 9 7 5 4 5
ncols =
4 6 5
out =
5 3 7 2 0 0
7 2 4 6 8 1
9 7 5 4 5 0
You could use accumarray
for that:
A = [4 9 8 9 6 1 8 9 7 7 7 4 6 2 7 1].'; %'// data
ncols = [4 6 6]; %// columns
n = max(ncols);
cs = cumsum(ncols);
ind = 1;
ind(cs+1) = 1;
ind = cumsum(ind(1:end-1)); %// `ind` tells the row for each element of A
result = accumarray(ind(:), A(:), [], @(x) {[x; zeros(n-numel(x),1)]}); %// split `A` as
%// dictated by `ind`, and fill with zeros. Each group is put into a cell.
result = [result{:}].'; %'// concatenate all cells
