decide the size of matrix returned by gradient function

I want to find gradient of a function (x,y) in a loop and want to get a matrix of 10x10 size as the gradient matrix. I tried using - [___] = gradient(F,h) to set the distance between each point with different values of h. It doesn't seem to work and only returns a 100X100 matrix whatever I try (In the code below I get a 100x100 matrix for vfy1 and vfx1. How do I make the gradient command return only a 10X10 matrix?
Code-
x_grid = linspace(1,3,10);
y_grid = linspace(1,3,10);
for i = 1:1:length(x_grid)%rows
x = x_grid(i);
vpx_0 = 5;% initialize particle velocity in x and y directions
vpy_0 = 0;
for j = 1:1:length(y_grid) %columns
y = y_grid(j);
[vfy1,vfx1] = gradient(psi,10); % here is the gradient command
vfy= -1*vfy1;
vfx = vfx1;
vpx(i,j) = sqrt((vpx_0).^2 + 2*g(1)*x);
vpy(i,j) = -1*sqrt(vpy_0.^2 + abs(2*g(2)*y));
vpx_0 = vpx(i,j);
vpy_0 = vpy(i,j);
vfx_sum = vfx_sum + vfx;% has been pre-allocated (not shown here)
vfy_sum = vfy_sum + vfy;% has been pre allocated (not shown here)
end
end

Where do you define psi? That seems the most important part, since the rest of the code doesn't affect gradient.
psi is defined above this piece of code as -
figure(1);
x = linspace(1,3);
y = linspace(1,3);
[x,y] = meshgrid(x,y);
psi = norm(vf)*(y-2+m*atan2(y-2,x-2+a)-m*atan2(y-2,x-2-a));
contour(x,y,psi,40);
hold on;
As psi is a 100x100 array, so is the output of gradient. The only thing the second input does is scaling the output. If you want a 10x10, you will have to enter a 10x10 matrix or downsample the result.
Thank you, I didn't realize that. This worked!
