how to use a logical array to set logicals result for entire row.

3 views (last 30 days)
I have a matrix of nrows, with 3 columns. I am looking for an efficient way to use the 3rd column to select which rows i want to include in a new matrix. I want to be able to check if value of 3rd column is greater than 0.2. If it is, then I want to keep that row.
I think i would like to use a logical array, since i want to use that logical array on another variable. I was able to use this
vNormalsTopTest = vNormals>0.2
But, this applies the logical test to all columns. I would like to test the third column and apply that same logical result to the 1st and 2nd columns.

Good start.
isOkRow = vNormals(:,3) > 0.2 ;
vNormals_reduced = ..
I let you think about the last step. Hint: you could use the vector of logicals isOkRow to index valid rows (logical indexing) of vNormals and something else to index all columns.
