The subscript @var{idx} is expected to be a structure array with\n\
fields @samp{type} and @samp{subs}.  Valid values for @samp{type}\n\
are @samp{\"()\"}, @samp{\"@{@}\"}, and @samp{\".\"}.\n\
The @samp{subs} field may be either @samp{\":\"} or a cell array\n\
of index values.\n\
\n\
The following example shows how to extract the two first columns of\n\
a matrix\n\

@example\n\
val = magic(3)\n\
     @result{} val = [ 8   1   6\n\
                3   5   7\n\
                4   9   2 ]\n\
idx.type = \"()\";\n\
idx.subs = @{\":\", 1:2@};\n\
subsref(val, idx)\n\
     @result{} [ 8   1 \n\
          3   5 \n\
          4   9 ]\n\
@end example\n\

Note that this is the same as writing @code{val(:,1:2)}.\n\
