Finding neighbours in a matrix

Hi,
If I have an m x n matrix, how can I print a list of all the possible neighbours(horizontally, vertically and diagonally)? For example matrix(1, 1) should only give 3 values, while an element somewhere in the centre of the matrix should give 8 values. I know there are questions on this website resembling mine, but since I'm really new to matlab, I wondered if there are any easier solutions(I don't mind if they're longer than they'd need to be) Thank you very much!

I'm guessing you're not trying to find the neighbors simply to have a list of the neighbors. If you explain how you plan to use this information, what you want to obtain at the end, we may be able to offer more targeted suggestions for how to achieve your end goal.
For instance, since you said you're new to MATLAB, one reason you might want to do this is you've been given a homework assignment to program Conway's Game of Life. If so, after you've written up your version you might be interested in reading the chapter on the Game of Life in Cleve Moler's Experiments with MATLAB.

You can use blockproc(). It can do that. See attached test.m demo. If you don't want to have it "jump" by 3 pixels every time, but want it to move over by every time, you have to overlap the windows like I do in the other attached demo. See if you can adapt it, if you need that (being a smart engineer, I'm sure you can).

I downloaded these and now MATLAB is giving me a huge error message and won't work properly.

I just downloaded test.m and it ran fine:

Same for blockproc_overlapping.

What error did you get? You forgot to say. Also, attach your m-file.

You can do it one by one, I don't think there is any direct command for that.
Suppose the present matrix position is i,j, matrix represent the given matrix.
%Here i,j represents the rows and colm value of the matrix
el_1=matrix(i,j) % Give the value of present element having position i,j
el_2=matrix(i,j-1) % Left element
el_3=matrix(i,j+1) % Right element
el_4=matrix(i-1,j) % for upper element
el_5=matrix(i+1,j)%Upper element
el_6=matrix(i-1,j-1) % West-North Diagonal Element....
.........
You can do for the rest from the following figure

Maybe indexing helps to reduce the lines, hope some expert will show the path in that direction.

@Ethan you assign them, like
i = 2;
j = 4;
value = matrix(i, j)

Let a - your double array.
m = size(a)+2;
b = nan(m);
b(2:end-1,2:end-1) = a;
iii = reshape(1:numel(b),m);
ii = reshape(iii(~isnan(b)),1,1,[]);
out = reshape(b(ones(3).*ii + (-m(1):m(1):m(1)) + (-1:1)'),9,[]);

So if
a =
11 81 21 26 63 52 45
28 44 95 15 50 51 10
30 56 17 66 13 72 45
72 6 29 60 86 67 37
32 44 90 30 44 2 45
26 34 39 35 13 73 35
Then the first output should be [81,44,28] (the values of the 3 neighbors) and the second should be (if you move over one) [21,95,44,28,11] (the values of the 5 neighbors). Your code gives
out =

Not sure I understand how to interpret that.

interpretation of my result out:
We consider the matrix b-matrix a with boundary from nan elements.
The number of columns of the matrix out is equal to the number of elements of the matrix a.
Each column of the matrix out is a reshape of small region (3 by 3) of the matrix b.
b(1:3,1:3) -> out(:,1)
NaN NaN NaN NaN
NaN 11 81 NaN
NaN 28 44 -> NaN
NaN
11
28
NaN
81
44
b(2:4,1:3) -> out(:,2)
NaN 11 81 NaN
NaN 28 44 NaN
NaN 30 56 -> NaN
11
28
30
81
44
56
and so on.
