Matrix Type (Scilab gateway)
How to know if an argument or a variable is stored as a matrix.
Calling Sequence
Input argument profile:
int isVarMatrixType(void* _pvCtx, int* _piAddress)
Named variable profile:
int isNamedVarMatrixType(void* _pvCtx, const char *_pstName)
Arguments
- _pvCtx
Scilab environment pointer, pass in "pvApiCtx" provided by api_scilab.h
- _piAddress
Address of the variable
- Returned value
1 if the variable is stored as matrix otherwise 0.
Description
This help describes how to know if a variable is stored as a matrix.
In some cases (exemple: list), a variable is not stored as a standard Scilab matrix. This function provides a way to handle both cases.
