Name

creadmat (obsolete) — Read a single double or a matrix of double from Scilab memory using call_scilab. Note that it is the default datatype in Scilab. Starting with Scilab 5.2, this function is obsolete. See API_Scilab: Double reading for remplacement.

Synopsis

int C2F(creadmat)(char *name, int *m, int *n, double *scimat, unsigned long name_len);

Parameters

name

The name of the future Scilab variable

m

Number of rows

n

Number of columns

scimat

The actual matrix of double (array of double). Note that it is going to be stored in Scilab columnwise.

name_len

The length of the variable name (fortran compatibility)

C2F

C2F is just a macro which provides to this function the ability to be called from fortran

Description

This help describes how to use the function creadmat.

Using this function will retrieve a variable called name from Scilab memory into a standard C double *.

Examples

 
/* Load the previously set variable B */
// See: modules/call_scilab/examples/basicExamples/readwritematrix.c
int rowB_ = 0, colB_ = 0, lp_ = 0;
double *matrixOfDoubleB = NULL;
int i = 0, j = 0;

char variableToBeRetrievedB[] = "B";

/* First, retrieve the size of the matrix */
C2F(cmatptr)(variableToBeRetrievedB, &rowB_, &colB_, &lp_, strlen(variableToBeRetrievedB));

/* Alloc the memory */
matrixOfDoubleB = (double*)malloc((rowB_*colB_)*sizeof(double));

/* Load the matrix */
C2F(creadmat)(variableToBeRetrievedB,&rowB_,&colB_,matrixOfDoubleB,strlen(variableToBeRetrievedB) );

printf("\n");
printf("Display from B formated (size: %d, %d):\n",rowB_, colB_);
for(j = 0 ; j < rowB_ ; j++)
 {
  for(i = 0 ; i < colB_ ; i++)
   {
    /* Display the formated matrix ... the way the user
     * expect */
    printf("%5.2f ",matrixOfDoubleB[i * rowB_ + j]);
   }
  printf("\n"); /* New row of the matrix */
 }
