How can I insert values from the vertical 3rd matrix dimension in between the rows of the vertical 1st and 2nd dimension?

For matrix 210x2x4 I want to generate a 840x2 matrix, where in this order:

    [matrix(1,:,1);matrix(1,:,2);matrix(1,:,3);matrix(1,:,4);matrix(2,:,1);matrix(2,:,2);....]

I'm still not clear how to insert values between values in matrices, any suggestions?

reshape(permute(Mtx,[2 3 1]),2,[])'

Use permute() and then reshape(). Looks to me like you would want to permute() with [1 3 2].

ok, permute(matrix[ 1 3 2]) separates the x's from the y's. I am having difficulty setting reshape() to read the permuted matrix into two vectors, with the values from :,:,1 in a single column next to :,:,2 reading from the top row,left to right, and on down. I keep getting this error:

??? Error using ==> reshape

To RESHAPE the number of elements must not change.

reshape(permute(matrix,[1 3 2]),[],2)
