How to reshape and display 3D patches from a 2D matrix

I have a 2D matrix with it's column as a 3D-patch i.e.

X = 100*27 , the row is the amount of 3D patches (100) while the column is a 3*3*3 (3D patch) which was stretched out into a column.

How can I reshape the column and display the 100 patches in matlab?

Try

 out = permute(X, [3 2 1]);

You can use the reshape command:

 xr = reshape(x,100,3,3,3);

This will create a 4-D array.

You might need to specify more info about how you want to display them. Do you have a figure you could post that gives an idea?

Thanks, reshape works fine to convert to 4-D. To display I will like to display the 3*3*3 patches side by side. Since it is 100 patches, then 10 rows of 3*3*3 and 10 columns of 3*3*3).

The image above shows a sample display with the row and column as 10*10 ( 100) each patch (see marked first patch) as 3*3*3 ( 27)

I'm not an expert in image processing. (There are many people here who are.)

I don't know what the (3,3,3) values represent, and how to make an individual image out of it. (You might want to ask a new question about that, if you don't get much response in this one.)

Thanks @the cyclist. Your initial solution answered my question besides the display, so I will accept it as answered.
