Re: [julia-users] repeat()'s docstring: maybe some clarification needed?

Maybe we should use a couple of examples. I agree that Tomas’s example is an important one to include to make people understand things. I’d also suggest including one example that produces a higher-dimensional output than the input. This is one of the big differences between repeat and repmat.

I’d like to add the following example too, of using *both* inner and outer, to show off the flexibility of repeat: julia> repeat(A, inner=[1,2], outer=[2,1]) 4x4 Array{Int64,2}: 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 Until I had tried that in the REPL myself, I didn’t really trust tha

For outer, I think that it would be clearer to say that it repeats (or clones?) the whole array along the specified dimensions. For inner, I think it's ok. Looking at the tests for repeat, I think we could use this as an example: As an illustrative example, let's consider array A: A = [

Rewriting the documentation for repeat would be great. I’m the guilty party for that piece of documentation and agree that it’s not very good. Rewriting it from scratch is probably a good idea. I’m not sure I think `tile` is much better than `outer`. Maybe we should use something like `pereleme

2014-06-12 Thread Bruno Rodrigues
Hi, yesterday I asked for help in the channel to ask how I could achieve something like Matlab's repmat(): Julia also has a repmat() function, but only for two-dimensional arrays, whereas Matlab's implementation works for as many dimensions as you want. I found about repeat() but didn't underst
