Converting Matrix Dimensions in MATLAB

[pige]

Hello, first post, probably a beginner question, but I am stumped.

I modeled a set of data in MATLAB using the finite difference method. I then solved the system of linear equations and the solutions are in an N x 1 matrix. The problem is, I need to use the pcolorcommand to plot it and need it back in the original square or rectangular form. I tried using a nested loop to take the values back but couldn't succeed. Any help is appreciated.

Do you mean converting the Nx1 solution vector to a matrix of size [nr nc] (where nr*nc==N)?

If so, then it would look like this: solution_matrix = http://www.mathworks.com/help/techdoc/ref/reshape.html"(solution_vector, nr, nc);
