How can I find all points inside a ellipse

I have the bounds of an ellipse in x- and y-coordinates. My end goal is to get a matrix of all x-values and a corresponding matrix of all y-values for the points in/out that ellipse. If possible, I would also like to color in the specified ellipse on a 2d plot. Does anyone know which commands/functions I can use to do this? Most of what I have seen simply confirms whether input values lie in/out an ellipse. Thank you!
such that a sample of the ellipse is represented as :
xCenter = 15;
yCenter = 10;
xRadius = 1.5;
yRadius = 80;
theta = 0 : 0.01 : 2*pi;
x = xRadius * cos(theta) + xCenter;
y = yRadius * sin(theta) + yCenter;
plot(x, y, 'LineWidth', 3);

There are an infinite number of points inside (or on) an ellipse. Even if you confine yourself to discrete x values, there would be an infinite number of y values, corresponding to the infinite density of the chord. To do anything useful, you need to either work with a symbolic formula or else discretize both x and y.

‘My end goal is to get a matrix of all x-values and a corresponding matrix of all y-values for the points in/out that ellipse.’
There would be an infinite number of them, since you have defined an infinite 2D space. Your computer (or any computer) likely cannot handle it.
‘If possible, I would also like to color in the specified ellipse on a 2d plot’
That’s more tractable. See the patch (link) and related functions (such as area and fill, linked to at the end of that page) to create your plot. Remember to specify axis equal to avoid distorting your ellipse plot.

If you want to know the points inside and outside the ellipse, and there are a specific number of them, use the inpolygon (link) function. I know that you mentioned that you apparently do not want to use it, however it is the most efficient option.
Otherwise, if you want the area of the ellipse, you can use the trapz function twice (once in each dimension), or create an anonymous function representation for your ellipse and use integral2, or for a vector valued function, integral once in each dimension.

@azdoud youssef how did you get the values from ellipse, Could you please share the code or give me suggestions.

I think this is what you were asking.
In place of xCenter and yCenter, you can choose what ever the values that you want.
Similarly, the limits of xRadius and yRadius is of your choice.
xCenter = 0;
yCenter = 0;
xRadius = 1.41631:-(1.41631)/100:0;
yRadius = 0.53:-(0.53)/100:0;
theta = 0 : (2*pi)/100 : 2*pi;
for i=1:length(xRadius)
xx=xRadius(i);
yy=yRadius(i);
for j=1:length(yRadius)
x(i,j) = xx * cos(theta(j)) + xCenter;
y(i,j) = yy * sin(theta(j)) + yCenter;
end
end
plot(x, y, 'LineWidth', 3);
