A cell array is an output primitive that can produce multicolored images. The image consists of a grid of rectangular cells, each cell having its own defined color. The cells need not map one-for-one with pixels on the output device. The output grid is defined by a set of indexes into a color table. The Cell array (GCA) output function generates the output image.

A cell array can be subjected to any transformation. This may yield an array in which the cells are rhomboids (diamond-shaped parallelograms).
