Matlab: Find the index/row and column of the maximum element of a matrix

To find out the index of the maximum element of a matrix in Matlab, use:

>> myMat = [1 2 3 4;2 3 4 5;5 6 2 1]

myMat =
     1     2     3     4
     2     3     4     5
     5     6     2     1

>> [row, col] = find(myMat == max(myMat(:)))

row =
     3


col =
     2

>> myMat(3,2)

ans =
     6

>> max(myMat(:))

ans =
     6
