How to create a matrix of data points

I want to make a 3x3 matrix of cartesian data points (x,y) such that the matrix would have the form of

A = [(0,0) (0,1) (0,2); (1,0) (1,1) (1,2); (2,0) (2,1) (2,2)]

What would be the syntax to make this possible because right now I keep getting stuck with a 3x6 matrix when I try to implement it?

You can create a 3D matrix:

[xx,yy] =meshgrid(0:2)
A = cat(3,xx,yy)

so that A(:,:,k) gives you a specific k-th point in space.

or you can create a cell array C , so that C{k} holds that point

C = arrayfun(@(k) [xx(k) yy(k)],1:numel(xx),'un',0)
