padzeros: Pad matrix with zeros

Description

Adds zeros to the left side of a matrix or vector, to its right side, or to both sides.

Usage

padzeros(data, nzeros, side="both")

Value

A matrix with the same number of rows as the original matrix, and extra columns containing zeros on the specified side or sides

Arguments

data

the original matrix or vector

nzeros

number of columns to add on one side

side

to which side to add the zeros - choose between "both", "left" or "right"

Author

Details

When data is a numeric vector, it is converted to a matrix of a single row.

Examples

data(lcms)
lcms.z1 <- padzeros(lcms[75,,1], 250, side="left")
lcms.z2 <- padzeros(lcms[75,,1], 250, side="right")
lcms.z3 <- padzeros(lcms[75,,1], 250, side="both")
zeros <- rep(0, 250)

layout(matrix(1:4,2,2, byrow=TRUE))
plot(lcms[75,,1], type="l", main="Original signal")

plot(as.vector(lcms.z1), type="l", main="Padzeros left side")
points(1:250, zeros, col=2, lwd=0.08)

plot(as.vector(lcms.z2), type="l", main="Padzeros right side")
points(2001:2250, zeros, col=2, lwd=0.08)
