how to use 'build array' (concatenate) to create a array horizontally?????HELP

[popandroid]

I want to link nine arrays whose dimension is 2*2 horizontally，but the function 'build array' (concatenated way) made them vertically.........help me please..........maybe this is too simple.........since I am only a students who learnd labview only few months..

One way could be to transpose all arrays, concatenate them and again transpose the concatenated array.

Transpose array on the result. 🙂

All you need to do is to add Transpose 2D array after Build Array(concatenate) .

A transpose operation only solves certain scenarios, but you don't give enough information on what you actually want.

For example, of you have 3 2x2 arrays:

a1 a2     b1 b2     c1 c2

a3 a4     b3 b4     c3 c4

What should the final vertical result be?

a1 a2

a3 a4

b1 b2

b3 b4

c1 c2

c3 c4

or

a1 a3

a2 a4

b1 b3

b2 b4

c1 c3

c2 c4

Or something else?

Please be much more specific. Maybe even attach a small VI containing typical default data.

I have considered it before，but this method will destroy  the original arrangement of each 2*2 array which can't be changed when transition.......

a1 a2

a3 a4

b1 b2

b3 b4

become 

a1 a3 b1 b3

a2 a4 b2 b4          .................

[popandroid]

If there are two arrays  A1= a1 a2            and          B1=b1 b2

                                        a3 a4                                 b3  b4

I want to link them like this way..........................a1 a2 b1 b2

                                                                       a3 a4 b3 b4

but the 'build array'(concatenate) made them like :            a1 a2 

                                                                                    a3 a4

                                                                                    b1 b2

                                                                                    b3 b4

All you have to do is follow Edgar's instructions he gave in message #2.

.. and if you don't like all these transpositions, simply wrap a FOR loop around it instead. Same difference 😄

Default behavior is to append columns, selectable by Right-click menu. Also expandable by pulling down.
