Say you have a very rectangular 2D array arr
, whose columns and rows correspond to very specific sampling locations x
and y
. That is, the arr[i, j]
entry corresponds to some measurement taken at x[j]
and y[i]
.
Matlab’s imagesc
shows you this quite meaningfully:
x = linspace(-100, -10, 10);
y = [-8 -3];
data = randn(numel(y), numel(x));
