MATLAB: How to perform 1way-ANOVA with matrices

anova testMATLAB

Hello,
I would like to perform a 1-way ANOVA test to compare 3 groups such as I get group1 VS group2, group1 VS group3, group2 VS group3.
My "groups" are 100×3 matrices in which each column conrespond to a coordinates (x,y,z).
My question is, should I perform the ANOVA for each coordinate such as I get a comparison between the x axis of each group, then the y and so on?
Or do you have any other suggestion?
Thanks!

manova might be a better approach, since it allows you to combine information from all three variables (x,y,z) into a single test of group equality.
