num2cell (MATLAB Function Reference)

Convert a numeric array into a cell array

c = num2cell(A)
c = num2cell(A,dims)

Description

c = num2cell(A)

converts the matrix A into a cell array by placing each element of A into a separate cell. Cell array c will be the same size as matrix A.

c = num2cell(A,dims)

converts the matrix A into a cell array by placing the dimensions specified by dims into separate cells. C will be the same size as A except that the dimensions matching dims will be 1.

Examples

The statement

num2cell(A,2)

places the rows of A into separate cells. Similarly

num2cell(A,[1 3])

places the column-depth pages of A into separate cells.
