Matrix slicing in matlab

i have a matrix in which i need to slice into elements but in cell array form

Answer 1

[Paul]

Use mat2cell

x = rand(4,2); % the matrix
c = mat2cell(x,[2 2],2); % the cell array
% verify
c{1} - x(1:2,:)

ans = 2×2

0 0 0 0

c{2} - x(3:4,:)

ans = 2×2

0 0 0 0

edit i would want it to work for any size matrix ie a 2x4 matrix would give me 1x2 or a 6x8 matrix would give me a 3x4 cell array

[Paul]

x = rand(6,8);
% assuming row and column dimensions of x are both even
c = mat2cell(x,2*ones(1,size(x,1)/2),2*ones(1,size(x,2)/2))

c = 3×4 cell array
    {2×2 double}    {2×2 double}    {2×2 double}    {2×2 double}
    {2×2 double}    {2×2 double}    {2×2 double}    {2×2 double}
    {2×2 double}    {2×2 double}    {2×2 double}    {2×2 double}

c{2,2} - x(3:4,3:4)

ans = 2×2
