# ndgrid

Rectangular grid in N-D space

## Syntax

* \[X1, X2, ..., Xn] = ndgrid(x1, x2, ... , xn)
* \[X1, X2, ..., Xn] = ndgrid(xg)

## Input argument

* x1, x2, … , xn - vector: grid vectors as separate arguments.
* xg - vector: grid vector for all dimensions.

## Output argument

* X1, X2, … , Xn - array: full grid representation.

## Description

\[X1, X2, … , Xn] = ndgrid(x1, x2, … , xn) generates an n-dimensional full grid by replicating each grid vector.

\[X1, X2, … , Xn] = ndgrid(xg) In this scenario, the single grid vector xg is used for all dimensions. The number of output arguments determines the dimensionality n of the resulting grid.

## Examples

```matlab
M = {'apple', 'banana', 'cherry'};
N = {'blue', 'green', 'red'};
ndgrid(M , N)
```

```matlab
[X, Y] = ndgrid(1:2:19, 2:2:12)
```
