Finding all possible combinations of a matrix

Hello Everyone,
I have the following matrix:
mat=[0 0 0 0;1 1 1 1;2 2 2 2;3 3 3 3]
and i want to create a new matrix from it that would have all possible combinations: [ 0 0 0 0; 0 0 0 1; 0 0 0 2; 0 0 0 3; 0 0 1 0; 0 0 2 0; . . . ;3 3 3 3]
How can I do that?
Thanks a lot in advance
Best Regards, Sameh

Hello All,
for "U=4" --> the inputs of the input matrix (0,1,2,3) and "depth=4" --> (number of columns of the output matrix)
I have found a simple answer, which is also generic for other values of "U" and "depth":
combs = dec2base(0:power(U,depth)-1,U) - '0';
Thank you all for your replies and I hope that my answer or yours would be of help to others as well.
Best Regards,
Sameh

This is basically the first part of my answer. As stated in my answer, this only works for U < 10.

val = 0:3;
X = [];
for i = val, for j= val, for k = val, for l = val, X = [X; [i,j,k,l]]; end, end, end, end
or
val = 0:3;
[w x y z] = ndgrid(val);
X = [z(:) y(:) x(:) w(:)];

This is hardly generic to any input mat of an arbitrary size
@Thorsten the second part of your answer is very useful, but won't have control over the number of columns of the output matrix.

This will work as long as mat has less than 10 rows:
assert(size(mat, 1) < 10, 'mat has too many rows')
rowidx = dec2base(0 : size(mat, 1).^size(mat, 2)-1, size(mat, 1)) - '0' + 1;
colidx = repmat(1:size(mat, 2), size(mat, 1).^size(mat, 2), 1);
result = mat(sub2ind(size(mat), rowidx, colidx))
There's no limit on the number of columns (other than memory / computation time)
edit:
if more than 10 rows, then you can use ndgrid as per Thorsten's answer to generate the rowidx:
rowvals = cell(1, size(mat, 2)); %to receive output of ndgrid
[rowvals{:}] = ndgrid(1:size(mat, 1));
rowidx = reshape(cat(size(mat, 2)+1, rowvals{:}), size(mat, 1).^size(mat, 2), size(mat, 2));
%continue as before

@Guillaume I guess your edit does what i want with freedom for the choice of the number of rows and columns. However, it might be a bit complicated. Anyhow, thanks a lot for your effort :)
