Description The Submatrix block extracts a contiguous submatrix from the M-by-N input 
matrix
u. A length-M 1-D vector input is treated as an M-by-1 matrix. The Row 
span
 parameter provides three options for specifying the range of rows in u to 
be retained in submatrix output
y:
•
All rows
Specifies that y contains all M rows of u.
•
One row
Specifies that y contains only one row from u. The Starting row parameter 
(described below) is enabled to allow selection of the desired row.
•Range of rows 
Specifies that y contains one or more rows from u. The Row and Ending row 
parameters (described below) are enabled to allow selection of the desired 
range of rows.
The 
Column span parameter contains a corresponding set of three options for 
specifying the range of columns in
u to be retained in submatrix y: All 
columns
, One column, or Range of columns. The One column option enables 
the 
Column parameter, and Range of columns options enable the Starting 
column
 and Ending column parameters.
The output has the same frame status as the input.
Range Specification Options
When One row or Range of rows is selected from the Row span parameter, 
the desired row or range of rows is specified by the 
Row parameter, or the 
Starting row and Ending row parameters. Similarly, when One column or 
Range of columns is selected from the Column span parameter, the desired 
column or range of columns is specified by the 
Column parameter, or the 
Starting column and Ending column parameters.
