Hi all,
I have a 3D matrixnd I need to check if it has any sub 2D matrix with non zero elements.
a(:,:,1) =
0 0
0 0
a(:,:,2) =
1 0
0 0
the results should be
[0 1].
Thanks
cheers

pagesWithNonZeros = squeeze(any(any(x,1),2))
You can pass dim into any to test if there are any nonzero elements in that dimension.

You can just do
[any(any(a(:,:,1)>0)),any(any(a(:,:,2)>0))]
or just shorter
nonzero2D=@(a,k)any(any(a(:,:,k)>0))
[nonzero2D(a,1), nonzero2D(a,2)]
Is that what you want?
