Question

Hi I have a cell array which is called vector, with dimensions 69083×2 , now i want to reshape this cell array to 3212762×2, but reshape(vector,3212762,2) does not work. I get this error:

To RESHAPE the number of
elements must not change.

Can anyone tell me how I can do this ?

Answer 1

Do you mean you wish to make the cell array larger? reshape is to store the same elements in a different ‘shape’, for eg., a 3×2 cell array as a 6×1 cell array – note that the total number of elements remains 6 in both cases.

If you wish to enlarge the cell array, just assign something to the last element of the enlarged cell array like so:

vector(3212762, 2) = {[]}

Now vector would be of size 3212762×2.
