Problem assigning multiple values simultaneously to a matrix

Hello,

I have attached some code for reference;

flag=zeros([10 10]);
flag(5,5)=1;
flag(5,9)=1;%Initialize Flag with 2 1's
temp=find(flag);%Find index of where the ones are, gives a 2x1 vector for both indecies
[I,J]=ind2sub(size(flag),temp);%Convert to columns and rows giving 2 2x1 vectors
flag((I-2):I,(J-2):J)=1;
flag((I-2):I,J:(J+2))=1;
flag(I:(I+2),(J-2):J)=1;
flag(I:(I+2),J:(J+2))=1;%Make flag values within 5x5 window 1, but it only does it for one of the flaged values?

My question is what is an efficient way to to this to ALL of the indecies in I and J? right now it only does it for the first one,

Thanks,

Chris

use [I,J,V]=find(flag)

Pay attention that +2/-2 might exceed the size of the matrix.

double(logical(conv2(flag,ones(5),'same')))

You are very smart ;)

You can use a loop, like this

% data
flag=zeros([10 10]);
flag(5,5)=1;
flag(5,9)=1;%Initialize Flag with 2 1's

%%find indices
temp=find(flag);%Find index of where the ones are, gives a 2x1 vector for both indecies
[I,J]=ind2sub(size(flag),temp);%Convert to columns and rows giving 2 2x1 vectors

% update array
for k = 1:length(I)
    flag(I(k)-2:I(k)+2, J(k)-2:J(k)+2) = 1;
end

Alternatively, if you have the Image Processing Toolbox, you can just do

% data
flag=zeros([10 10]);
flag(5,5)=1;
flag(5,9)=1;%Initialize Flag with 2 1's

% dilate
flag = imdilate(flag, ones(5));

Note that the first method, with an explicit assignment, will grow the array to 11 columns in order to put ones in a 5x5 region round the (5,9) element. The second method will return an array the same size as the original.
