Syntax

B = squeeze(A)

Description

B = squeeze(A) returns an array with the same elements as the input array A, but with dimensions of length 1 removed. For example, if A is a 3-by-1-by-1-by-2 array, then squeeze(A) returns a 3-by-2 matrix.

If A is a row vector, column vector, scalar, or an array with no dimensions of length 1, then squeeze returns the input A.
