Is there a built-in function to concatenate arrays in the third dir... (2024)

HORZCAT Horizontal concatenation. [A B] is the horizontal concatenation of matrices A and B. A and B must have the same number of rows. [A,B] is the same thing. Any number of matrices can be concatenated within one pair of brackets. Horizontal and vertical concatenation can be combined together as in [1 2;3 4]. [A B; C] is allowed if the number of rows of A equals the number of rows of B and the number of columns of A plus the number of columns of B equals the number of columns of C. The matrices in a concatenation expression can themselves by formed via a concatenation as in [A B;[C D]]. These rules generalize in a hopefully obvious way to allow fairly complicated constructions. N-D arrays are concatenated along the second dimension. The first and remaining dimensions must match. C = HORZCAT(A,B) is called for the syntax '[A B]' when A or B is an object. Y = HORZCAT(X1,X2,X3,...) is called for the syntax '[X1 X2 X3 ...]' when any of X1, X2, X3, etc. is an object. See also VERTCAT, CAT.

CAT Concatenate arrays. CAT(DIM,A,B) concatenates the arrays A and B along the dimension DIM. CAT(2,A,B) is the same as [A,B]. CAT(1,A,B) is the same as [A;B]. B = CAT(DIM,A1,A2,A3,A4,...) concatenates the input arrays A1, A2, etc. along the dimension DIM. When used with comma separated list syntax, CAT(DIM,C{:}) or CAT(DIM,C.FIELD) is a convenient way to concatenate a cell or structure array containing numeric matrices into a single matrix. Examples: a = magic(3); b = pascal(3); c = cat(4,a,b) produces a 3-by-3-by-1-by-2 result and s = {a b}; for i=1:length(s), siz{i} = size(s{i}); end sizes = cat(1,siz{:}) produces a 2-by-2 array of size vectors.
