Hello Alok,

We really need more details about what you are trying to acheive in order to
help you.

c(X, Y) concatenates the objects X and Y. The result will be a vector. If X
and Y happen to be m x n matrices, the result will be a vector of length 2 *
m * n: probably not what you want.

You can see this for yourself. Eg:

 X <- matrix(1, 3, 3)
Y <- matrix(2, 3, 3)
c(X, Y)

If you were hoping to combine the information in corresponding pixels of the
matrices X and Y, you will need to have a clear idea of *how* you would like
the information to be combined. ie: Are you looking for the mean value of
the pixels, or is some other operation required?

Eg 2:

X <- matrix(1:9, 3, 3)
Y <- matrix(2, 3, 3)
X + Y / 2

Hope that helps.

Greg
