Hello,
As I understand diff it goes either left to right along rows or up to down a column. Is there a way to make diff do the same thing it currently does but go right to left or down to up?
Thanks,
Teddy

sure, flip your matrix with
fliplr
or
flipud
and then run
diff

Wouldn't you fliplr the original array, call diff on it, and then flip the resulting array again to get what you want?

So you want to detect when the abs-olute diff-erence between adjacent elements is exactly 1?
If you know that your data only contains 0 and 1 (or false and true) it's even easier than using abs and diff.
x = randi([0 1], 1, 10)
d = [x(1:end-1) ~= x(2:end), 0]
[x; d]
Each element of d is true when the corresponding element of x differs from the next element in x. I set the last element of d to false because it doesn't make sense to ask if the last element is different from the nonexistent next-after-the-last element.
