Variable dimension (Scilab gateway)
How to get the dimensions of an argument or a variable stored as matrix.
Calling Sequence
Input argument profile:
SciErr getVarDimension(void* _pvCtx, int* _piAddress, int* _piRows, int* _piCols)
Named variable profile:
SciErr getNamedVarDimension(void* _pvCtx, const char *_pstName, int* _piRows, int* _piCols)
Arguments
- _pvCtx
Scilab environment pointer, pass in "pvApiCtx" provided by api_scilab.h
- _piAddress
The address of the variable.
- _pstName
Scilab variable name.
- _piRows
Return number of rows.
- _piCols
Return number of columns.
- SciErr
Error structure where is stored errors messages history and first error number.
Description
This help describes how to get the dimensions of a variable in a gateway.
