Combine two cell arrays into a block diagonal array

3 views (last 30 days)
The function blkdiag can be used to combine two numerical arrays with different dimensions into a block diagonal matrix, with 0s in the missing locations. Is there anything similar for two cell arrays, where the missing elements would just be empty cells? (I could do it manually, just wondering if there is a built-in function to keep my code clean as with blkdiag). Thanks!

n = numel(YourCell);
out = cell(n, n);
out(1:n+1:end) = YourCell;
