I have a matrix, for example
A = [ 1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9] ;
and a vector of size 1x3 which specifies which element in each row is the one I\
First of all, the indexes in Matlab go from top to bottom. So in your case A[1] = 1 , A[2] = 4 , A[3] = 7
That said, it would be easier to work on A' , because its a bit more trivial.
B = A'; B((vector + [0:2].* 3))
