+## @deftypefn {Function File} {} cartprod (@var{varargin})
+##
+## Computes the cartesian product of given column vectors ( row vectors ).
+## The vector elements are assumend to be numbers.
+##
+## Alternatively the vectors can be specified by as a matrix, by its columns.
+##
+## To calculate the cartesian product of vectors,
+## P = A x B x C x D ... . Requires A, B, C, D be column vectors.
+## The algorithm is iteratively calcualte the products,
+## ( ( (A x B ) x C ) x D ) x etc.
+##
+## @example
+## @group
+## cartprod(1:2,3:4,0:1)
+## ans = 1 3 0
+## 2 3 0
+## 1 4 0
+## 2 4 0
+## 1 3 1
+## 2 3 1
+## 1 4 1
+## 2 4 1
+## @end group
