Reshape (Simulink Reference)

Change the dimensionality of a signal

Library

Math Operations

Description

The Reshape block changes the dimensionality of the input signal to a dimensionality that you specify, using the block's Output dimensionality parameter. For example, you can use the block to change an N-element vector to a 1-by-N or N-by-1 matrix signal, and vice versa.

The Output dimensionality parameter lets you select any of the following output options.

Output Dimensionality

Description

1-D array
Converts a matrix (2-D array) to a vector (1-D array) array signal. The output vector consists of the first column of the input matrix followed by the second column, etc. (This option leaves a vector input unchanged.)

Column vector
Converts a vector or matrix input signal to a column matrix, i.e., an M-by-1 matrix, where M is the number of elements in the input signal. For matrices, the conversion is done in column-major order.

Row vector
Converts a vector or matrix input signal to a row matrix, i.e., a 1-by-N matrix where N is the number of elements in the input signal. For matrices, the conversion is done in column-major order.

Customize
Converts the input signal to an output signal whose dimensions you specify, using the Output dimensions parameter. The value of the Output dimensions parameter can be a one- or two-element vector. A value of [N] outputs a vector of size N. A value of [M N] outputs an M-by-N matrix. The number of elements of the input signal must match the number of elements specified by the Output dimensions parameter. For matrices, the conversion is done in column-major order.

Output Dimensionality	Description
1-D array	Converts a matrix (2-D array) to a vector (1-D array) array signal. The output vector consists of the first column of the input matrix followed by the second column, etc. (This option leaves a vector input unchanged.)
Column vector	Converts a vector or matrix input signal to a column matrix, i.e., an M-by-1 matrix, where M is the number of elements in the input signal. For matrices, the conversion is done in column-major order.
Row vector	Converts a vector or matrix input signal to a row matrix, i.e., a 1-by-N matrix where N is the number of elements in the input signal. For matrices, the conversion is done in column-major order.
Customize	Converts the input signal to an output signal whose dimensions you specify, using the Output dimensions parameter. The value of the Output dimensions parameter can be a one- or two-element vector. A value of `[N]` outputs a vector of size N. A value of `[M N]` outputs an M-by-N matrix. The number of elements of the input signal must match the number of elements specified by the Output dimensions parameter. For matrices, the conversion is done in column-major order.

Data Type Support

The Reshape block accepts and outputs signals of any data type, including fixed-point data types, except int64 and uint64.

Parameters and Dialog Box

Output dimensionality: The dimensionality of the output signal.
Output dimensions: Specifies a custom output dimensionality. This option is enabled only if you select Customize as the value of the Output dimensionality parameter.
