How to suppress all the outputs during assignment of multiple variables with the same value? [To improve presentation]

X = imread('parrot.jpg');
R,G,B = X;

I am trying to assign multiple variables (here; R, G & B) with the same value (i.e., X). A semicolon is put to suppress the resulting matrix outputs. However, the matrix of R and G are not getting supressed; only the B one's is.

How should I code that all the outputs are getting suppressed?

We can use the function following:

deal()

Useage:

X = imread('parrot.jpg');
[R, G ,B] = deal(X);

This will be equivalent to assign

R = X;
G = X;
B = X;

I don't think thiis is OP's intention.

X = imread('parrot.jpg');
X = num2cell(X,[1 2]);
[R,G,B] = deal(X{:});

Or simply

X = imread('parrot.jpg');
R = X(:,:,1);
G = X(:,:,2);
B = X(:,:,3);
