Reshape row wise w/ different starting/ending elements number

Question

The problem is:

Product of known dimensions, 3, not divisible into total number of elements, 16.

this because i want to reshape a

Approach #1

You can use vec2mat that's part of the Communications System Toolbox, assuming A as the input vector -

ncols = 6; %// number of columns needed in the output
out = vec2mat(A,ncols)

Sample run -

>> A'
ans =
     4     9     8     9     6     1     8     9     7     7     7     4     6     2     7     1
>> out
out =
     4     9     8     9     6     1
     8     9     7     7     7     4
     6     2     7     1     0     0

Approach #2

If you don't have that toolbox, you can work with the basic functions to achieve the same -

out = zeros([ncols ceil(numel(A)/ncols)]);
out(1:numel(A)) = A;
out = out.'
