Multidimensional Cell Arrays

Like numeric arrays, the framework for multidimensional cell arrays in MATLAB is an extension of the two-dimensional cell array model. You can use the cat function to build multidimensional cell arrays, just as you use it for numeric arrays.

For example, create a simple three-dimensional cell array C.

• A{1,1} = [1 2;4 5];
  A{1,2} = 'Name';
  A{2,1} = 2-4i;
  A{2,2} = 7;
  B{1,1} = 'Name2';
  B{1,2} = 3;
  B{2,1} = 0:1:3;
  B{2,2} = [4 5]';
  C = cat(3,A,B);
  

The subscripts for the cells of C look like
