Image processing (Matlab): index exceeds the matrix dimensions

well, I am new to matlab programming and I have been battling on the indexing issues. I am currently working on image processing which so far drive me crazy. anyways, lets jump to the questions. I have the following code 

perm=randperm(size(X,2));
CX=X(:,perm(1:nclus));

I tried to run the code but it triggers an error saying " Index exceeds the matrix dimensions. To my humble knowledge I think it is because the (:,perm(1:nclus)) is higher than the matrix dimensions. I would like to know how can i solve this problem.

Note that X: is the input points in the columns nclus: number of clusters.

I highly appreciate if you guys clarify to me the error cause and the possible solution for it.

Thank you

Sami

Guessing that you just want to get nclus random columns from a 2 dimensional matrix X, try this:

perm=randperm(size(X,2));
CX=X(:,perm<=nclus);

The error that you experience should not come from X being called with too many dimensions, it is probably because the dimensions of perm are exceeded. Try running this line by line:

perm = randperm(size(X,2)); %Should be ok
idx = perm(1:nclus); %Probably fails
X(:,idx)
