MX Examples

The mx subdirectory of extern/examples contains examples for using the array access functions. Although you can use these functions in stand-alone programs, most of these are MEX-file examples. The exception is mxSetAllocFcns.c, since this function is available only to stand-alone programs.

Engine and MAT Examples

The eng_mat subdirectory in the extern/examples directory contains the MEX-file examples (C and Fortran) for using the MATLAB engine facility, as well as examples for reading and writing MATLAB data files (MAT-files). These examples are all stand-alone programs.
