Concatenate 2D array horizontally


Recommended Posts

I was working on something today and thought a "Concatenate Inputs Horizontally" would come in handy some times..

That way I could get rid of these 3 transpose array functions.

I'm usually not on the cutting edge of thought... something like this hasn't been discussed before, has it?

There's always many different ways to skin a cat. So here's one option I did which doesn't use any transpose array functions (since I was under the impression that it was bad on memory usage)

I just realized that this doesn't work in all use cases. If Array 2 has more rows than Array 1 then the output will not be exactly what you want, I guess the code could be modified to work properly. It's not often I need to concatenate horizontally but I wouldn't mind having it be a feature.

Yeah that works but it has the same flaw that mine had where things don't work right if the 2nd array has more rows than the 1st, but it is an improvement over my code.

Right, then we need to check for this and concenate the missing lines to the first array. Or use the initial solution using transpose arrays which is applicable to 2D-arrays only

Transpose Array is under such circumstances usually almost a NOP. Thanks to LabVIEW having something like sub-arrays.

Revive a 5 year old thread?  Why not.  Turns out there is a easier way to concatenate a 2D array of numerics horizontally using the matrix math build matrix function. There is a right click option for append columns, or append rows.

Believe it only works for numerics though.

But surely all of these are slower and more memory wasteful than transposing which simply twiddles the order and offsets of the pointers that are used to index the block of memory in which the array resides?
