Given a (Nx3) sequence of RGB colors, I want to create a (numRowBlocks x numColBlocks x 3) image comprising (blockSize x blockSize) blocks of those colors in a (numRowBlocks x numColBlocks) pattern.i.e. for this signature:
 makeColorBlocks(blockSize, numColBlocks, numRowBlocks, RGBvec)(Using a weird RGB to make the point)<pre> >> makeColorBlocks(2, 3, 2, [1 11 10;2 22 20; 3 33 30; 4 44 40; 5 55 50; 6 66 60])</pre><pre class="language-matlab">ans(:,:,1) =
