Truncating a 3-d matrix into 2-d

Hi All,

I have a matrix

X=16x16x4000

I want to truncate it (and delete the 4000 entirely) and make it to just 16x16. How should I do this? I have tried everything from permute to using [ ] but it just doesn't work. Thanks!

Have you tried to reshape it to 16x16...?

You are not being specific enough to determine a unique solution. If you are happy with just the first "slice" in the 3rd dimension, then

X(:,:,1)

is a 16x16 array.
