Listing sequential binary numbers in vector form

Camron Call — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 00:52:01 -0400

I am trying to create a matrix listing all the binary numbers from 0 to 2^n-1 where n is an integer (no need for n>12). I understand that if n = 3 then:

dec2bin(0:2^n-1)

will gives the following in a string format.

000
001
010
011
100
101
110
111

I would like to figure out how to get the same thing in a matrix in number format such as:

[0 0 0;
0 0 1;
0 1 0;
...
1 1 1]

I don't need to use dec2bin if there is an easier way, but that's where I started.

any ideas would be appreciated.

Absolutely beautiful!!! Thanks for your link. Subtracting -'0' is a handy trick.
