cell2mat

Converts a cell array to a matrix.

Syntax

R = cell2mat(a)

Inputs

a
Cell array to be converted. The individual elements of the cell must be conformable to matrix creation.
Type: double | integer | struct | cell
Dimension: scalar | vector | matrix

Outputs

a
Resulting matrix.

Examples

One dimensional cell2mat example:
a = {1:4};
R = cell2mat(a)
R = [Matrix] 1 x 4
1  2  3  4
Two-dimensional cell2mat example:
b = [1,2;3,4];
c = {b, b+1;b+2, b+3};
R = cell2mat(c)
R = [Matrix] 4 x 4
1  2  2  3
3  4  4  5
3  4  4  5
5  6  6  7
Complex two-dimensional cell2mat example: 
b = [1,2;3,4];
d = [b [5;6]];
e = {b, d; d+1, b+1};
R = cell2mat(e)
R = [Matrix] 4 x 5
1  2  1  2  5
3  4  3  4  6
2  3  6  2  3
4  5  7  4  5

Comments

The individual elements of the input cell array do not have to be conformable, but all rows must have the same number of total columns.
