Double writing (Scilab gateway)

How to write matrices of doubles in a gateway.

Create from existing data.

Syntax

Input argument profile:

SciErr createMatrixOfDouble(void* _pvCtx, int _iVar, int _iRows, int _iCols, const double* _pdblReal)
SciErr createComplexMatrixOfDouble(void* _pvCtx, int _iVar, int _iRows, int _iCols, const double* _pdblReal, double* _pdblImg)

Named variable profile:

SciErr createNamedMatrixOfDouble(void* _pvCtx, const char* _pstName, int _iRows, int _iCols, const double* _pdblReal)
SciErr createNamedComplexMatrixOfDouble(void* _pvCtx, const char* _pstName, int _iRows, int _iCols, const double* _pdblReal, const double* _pdblImg)

Arguments

_pvCtx

Scilab environment pointer, pass in "pvApiCtx" provided by api_scilab.h.

_iVar

Position in the Scilab memory where you want to put the variable.

_pstName

Name of the variable for "named" functions.

_iRows

Number of rows of the new variable.

_iCols

Numbers of columns of the new variable.

_pdblReal

Address of real data array (size: _iCols * _iRows).

_pdblImg

Address of imaginary data array (size: _iCols * _iRows). This argument does not exist with createMatrixOfDouble and createNamedMatrixOfDouble.

SciErr

Error structure where is stored errors messages history and first error number.

Write directly in Scilab memory.

Syntax

Input argument profile:

SciErr allocMatrixOfDouble(void* _pvCtx, int _iVar, int _iRows, int _iCols, double** _pdblReal)
SciErr allocComplexMatrixOfDouble(void* _pvCtx, int _iVar, int _iRows, int _iCols, double** _pdblReal, double** _pdblImg)
SciErr allocComplexZMatrixOfDouble(void* _pvCtx, int _iVar, int _iRows, int _iCols, double** _pdblReal, doublecomplex** _pdblData)

Arguments

_pvCtx

Scilab environment pointer, pass in "pvApiCtx" provided by api_scilab.h.

_iVar

Position in the Scilab memory where you want to put the variable.

_iRows

Number of rows of the new variable.

_iCols

Numbers of columns of the new variable.

_pdblReal

Returns address of real data array (size: _iCols * _iRows).

_pdblImg

Returns address of imaginary data array (size: _iCols * _iRows). This argument does not exist with allocMatrixOfDouble.

_pdblData

Returns address of doublecomplex data array (size: _iCols * _iRows). This argument exists only in allocComplexZMatrixOfDouble.

SciErr

Error structure where is stored errors messages history and first error number.
