idx will be a vector which has as many entries as there are rows in X.
The j'th entry, idx(j) tells you the cluster number that X(j,:) belongs to.
which_in_cluster = cell(k,1);
for j = 1 : k
which_in_cluster{j} = find(idx == j);
end
Now which_in_cluster will be a cell array in which the j'th entry is a vector indicating which rows were part of the j'th cluster.
