constructing a matrix from a vector

[ishi soichi]

hi. I have a question about matrices.

say, we have a vector,

(1 2 3)

Can we construct a matrix like

1 2 3

1 2 3

1 2 3

1 2 3

?

certainly it's possible if I use normal loop algorithms. But I rather use Octave capability to manipulate matrices.
