sub2ind with 3D matrix?

given a code, for example, like this

A=rand(10,10); 

indX(:,:,1)=[2,3;1,6];  indX(:,:,2)=[2,5;2,6]; 
indY(:,:,1)=[4,6;2,3];  indY(:,:,2)=[7,5;3,4]; 

for i=1:2
    for j=1:2
        
        ind=sub2ind(size(A), indX(:,:,i), indY(:,:,j));
        figure,imagesc(A(ind));
        
    end
end

I would like to obtain the same result, without using a for loop. Is there any faster way?

So you want to select subsets of a matrix without a loop given 2x2 sets of indices, is that correct? Then not sure why the 3D matrix is important (they could be in cells for example), but maybe you started with it and you need to put them in indices.

That would be assuming you are using imagesc just to show the results (but then why not use disp(A(ind)) or fprintf('%d %d\n%d %d\n\n', A(ind)') or even just A(ind) without semicolon for that). Otherwise, if you need to plot, the loop is the most straightforward solution.

Since you're combining indices sets, (x1-y1,1-2,2-1,2-2 combinations) and you'd need to assign the various sub-matrices to different variables or cells or do some operations with them anyway (like imagesc above), the loop would be again still the fastest solution.

The faster way would be to not generate a bunch of figures in a loop. If you don't need them, don't spend time on them. If you might need them, conditionally generate them only when requested.
