index must be a positive integer or logical

I have this simple code I'm trying to run but I keep getting the error 'index must be a positive integer or logical.' Basically I'm attempting to make a 32x32 image of the f(x,y) bounded by x=0, x=2 and y=0, y=2

a=1;
b=1;

% dbstop if error

for x=0:.0645:2;
    for y=0:.0645:2;
        f(x,y)=1+sin(2*pi*(a.*x + b.*y));
    end
end

imshow(f)

I fixed the formatting for you but read this: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/13205-tutorial-how-to-format-your-question-with-markup

Thanks! I'll be sure to keep that in mind next time

Indexes can't start at zero like it said, but like you tried to do. To fix it, if you want to use a for loop, do this:

a=1;
b=1;
% dbstop if error
x=0:.0645:2;
y=0:.0645:2;
for column = 1 : length(x)
  for row = 1 : length(y)
    f(row, column)=1+sin(2*pi*(a.*x(column) + b.*y(row)));
  end
end
imshow(f, [], 'InitialMagnification', 600);
% Enlarge figure to full screen.
set(gcf, 'Units', 'Normalized', 'OuterPosition', [0 0 1 1]);

Okay, I understand that approach. Thanks a lot!
