Creating Continuous Time Triangle in Matlab

I need to create a continuous time triangle wave in Matlab that follows the following Pseudo Code:

Triangle = { 1 - abs(t/2) for -2<=t<=2 0 otherwise

Basically, I want a triangle centered on 0, with a max height of 1, that goes from -2 to 2.

I can do it in discrete time with the following code:

    a = 2; 
    t = -a:0.001:a; %define time from -2 to 2  
    triangle = 1-abs(t/a); %triangle function with max height of 1.
    plot(t,triangle)

but I haven't the foggiest how to make this into a continuous time function. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use repmat().

a = 2;
t = -a:0.001:a; %define time from -2 to 2
triangle = 1-abs(t/a); %triangle function with max height of 1.
numberOfReplications = 3;
triangleWave = repmat(triangle, [1, numberOfReplications]);
plot(triangleWave)
