Hello,

I want to add to a table two columns that match the last column, and 
two rows that match the last row.

Thus, if my table is

{{1,2,3,4},{5,6,7,8},{9,10,11,12}};  I want to modify it such that I 
end up with

{{1,2,3,4,4,4},  {5,6,7,8,8,8}, {9,10,11,12,12,12}, { 
9,10,11,12,12,12}, {9,10,11,12,12,12}};

This works:

tab1 = {{1, 2, 3, 4}, {5, 6, 7, 8}, {9, 10, 11, 12}};

tab1c = Transpose[
       Append[Append[Transpose[tab1], Transpose[tab1][[-1]]],
         Transpose[tab1][[-1]]]];
tab1d = Append[Append[tab1c, tab1c[[-1]]], tab1c[[-1]]] // TableForm


However, I bet there are much more efficient and elegant ways of 
doing this.  Any suggestions? 

Thanks in advance for the help.  The ideas I obtain from you folks 
are extremely helpful.

Regards,

Phil
