Function Changem or substitute values of a matrix

21 views (last 30 days)
Hello!
I am trying to use the function "changem" to substitute values from a matrix..(reference page: https://de.mathworks.com/help/map/ref/changem.html) I am using matlab 2017a but when I use the function, matlab says that the function is undefined.. I cannot find results when I search for it in the DOC.
Does this function still exists? When no, is there a equivalent function? Or does someone knows a possibility to change values of a matrix (is a little bit complex because I want to change the values of the matrix by an equivalent value of a vector).
Thanks in advance, MP

As per sloppydisk's answer, changem requires the mapping toolbox, so clearly you don't have that installed.
I don't have the mapping toolbox either, but reading the function documentation, it seems trivial to implement:
function mapout = my_changem(mapout, newcode, oldcode)
assert(numel(newcode) == numel(oldcode), 'newcode and oldecode must have the same number of elements');
[toreplace, bywhat] = ismember(mapout, oldcode);
mapout(toreplace) = newcode(bywhat(toreplace));
end

Thanks, works perfectly. After playing around sometime I did to manage it using 2 for loops and using if loops to check the constrains. But thanks again for the answer!
