Question

How do I simplify these commands to a single line in MATLAB?

medoidContainer(:, i, 1) = squeeze(reshape(container(:, :, 1),1, y * x));
medoidContainer(:, i ,2) = squeeze(reshape(container(:, :, 2),1, y * x));
medoidContainer(:, i ,3) = squeeze(reshape(container(:, :, 3),1, y * x));

With them, I reshape an RGB image to a matrix of a single line (for each color). But how can I do this without having to iterate through each dimension?

I have tried:

medoidContainer(:, i ,1:3) = squeeze(reshape(container(:, :, 1:3),1, y * x));

But that doesn’t work.

It sounds like you’re trying to convert an M x N x 3 array into an (M*N) x 3 array. You can do this as follows:

a = reshape(container, [M*N 3]);

To assign it into your “container”, I think you need this:

medoidContainer(:,i,:) = a;
