3d matrix inline initialization












0














Is there any way to inline initialize a 3D matrix in MATLAB in a single line? Thus, without use of for-loops and pre-initialization, e.g. via zero(a,b,c). As far as I know we can only do 2D as in:



matr=[1,2;3,4]


where , and ; indicate the two dimensions. Is there any deliminator for the third dimension that I do not know about? I know that the a multi-line initilization is possible via



matr(:,:,1) = [1 2 3; 9 8 7; 4 6 5];
matr(:,:,2) = [0 3 2; 8 8 4; 5 3 5];
matr(:,:,3) = [6 4 7; 6 8 5; 5 4 3];

  • This is weird bahaviour?!? matr(:,:,1) = [1 2 3; 9 8 7; 4 6 5]; initialises a 3x3 double, and not a 3x3x1 double; then the second line suddenly is able to add a dimension to an existing array. I always thought that'd give you a "dimension mismatch" error. Seems like you learn something every day

Use cat to concatenate along the third dimension:



cat(3, [1 2 3; 9 8 7; 4 6 5], [0 3 2; 8 8 4; 5 3 5], [6 4 7; 6 8 5; 5 4 3])


You can also achieve this using reshape:



reshape([[1 2 3; 9 8 7; 4 6 5], [0 3 2; 8 8 4; 5 3 5], [6 4 7; 6 8 5; 5 4 3]], [3,3,3])

    The second one does not give the correct results (actually, this was what I was trying first, too). Here, permute(reshape([1 2 3; 9 8 7; 4 6 5;0 3 2; 8 8 4; 5 3 5; 6 4 7; 6 8 5; 5 4 3].',[3,3,3]),[2,1,3]) gives the correct matrix.
