        <para>
            <literal>sub2ind</literal> is used to determine the equivalent
            single index corresponding to a given set of subscript values. <literal>I
                = sub2ind(dims,i1,i2,..)
            </literal>
            returns the linear index equivalent to
            the row, column, ... subscripts in the arrays <literal>i1</literal>,
            <literal>i2</literal>,.. for an matrix of size <literal>dims</literal>. In
            this case <literal>i1</literal>, <literal>i2</literal>,.. must have the
            same shape and the result <literal>I</literal> has the same matrix shape.
            <literal>I = sub2ind(dims,Mi)</literal> returns the linear index
            equivalent to the subscripts in the columns of the matrix
            <literal>Mi</literal> for a matrix of size <literal>dims</literal>. in
            this case <literal>I</literal> is a column vector.
