MATLAB: What’s the different of “Ways to Organize Data in Structure Arrays”

MATLABstructure

When I read the doc of Matlab — "Ways to Organize Data in Structure Arrays".
I find the ways are very similar or just the same?
* Plane Organization
* Element-by-Element Organization

Best Answer

Plane organization makes it easier to access particular fields of structures all at once whereas element-by-element makes it easier to get access to all fields of one struct in the array.
It's akin to row major, column major, though obviously not the same.
