How to put data into a neat table?

After a series of frustrating tests, I was finally able to obtain the data needed to form the coordinates given in the picture below. However, I don't know how to actually input my data into MatLab so that it outputs a neat-looking coordinate meshgrid. Some assistance would be nice. Here is my code to generate the data.

x=[-3:3];% all x-values from coordinate table
y=[-4:4]; % all y-values from coordinate table
y=y'; % transpose y
xGrid=repmat(x,[length(y),1]); % makes equal columns of x for rows of y
yGrid=repmat(y,[1,length(x)]); % makes equal rows of y for columns of x
Z= 1.8.^(-1.5*sqrt(xGrid.^2+yGrid.^2)).*cos(0.5*yGrid).*sin(xGrid); % vectorization

Like this:
[xGrid, yGrid] = meshgrid(x,y);
Z= 1.8.^(-1.5*sqrt(xGrid.^2+yGrid.^2)).*cos(0.5*yGrid).*sin(xGrid); % vectorization
% Then print to command window
for kx = 1 : length(x)
thisx = x(kx); % Get this one x.
for ky = 1 : length(y)
thisy = y(ky); % Get this one y
fprintf('(%d, %d, %.4f) ........ you finish it
end
end
