MATLAB: Returning Position in Array or Matrices for max()

Question

Hello

I'm wondering if there is a trick which can give you back the position (which row and which column) in matrices in which the max value is. max() only gives you the value.

thanks for your help.

Answer 1

[maxval, maxidx] = max(YourMatrix(:));
[row, col] = ind2sub(size(YourMatrix), maxidx);
