repmat

Replicate and tile an array

Syntax

B = repmat(A, siz)
B = repmat(A, m)
B = repmat(A, m, n,...)

Arguments

A
Array of any native type (boolean, numeric, text,..., cells, structures), of any number of dimensions of any sizes. Boolean or numerical sparse matrices are supported.

m, n, ...
Positive integers: number of times that A must be replicated along the respective dimensions #1, #2, etc..

siz
Vector of replication numbers: siz=[m,n,..].

B
Tiled array or ND-array, of sizes [m*size(A,1), n*size(A,2), ..] or [siz(1)*size(A,1), siz(2)*size(A,2), ..].

Description

repmat(A, m) replicates and tiles m × m copies of A.

repmat(A, m, n) or repmat(A, [m, n]) replicates and tiles m × n copies of A.

repmat(A, m, n, p, ..) is a generalization of repmat(A, m, n).

repmat(…) extends ones(m,n,..) .*. A to non-numerical inputs A.

repmat(…)'s definition can be extended using the overloading mechanism.

Examples

repmat([-1 3 7], 2, 4)

repmat(int8([1 -2 3; 0 -1  1]), 2, 4, 2)

b = cat(3, [%f %t %t], [%t %t %f])
repmat(b, [2 3])

t = "Scilab"; t(ones(2,4))
repmat(["Scilab" "Xcos"], 2, 3)
