mxCreateDoubleMatrix (C and Fortran) - Create 2-D, double-precision, floating-point mxArray initialized to 0

C Syntax

#include "matrix.h"
mxArray *mxCreateDoubleMatrix(mwSize m, mwSize n,
  mxComplexity ComplexFlag);

Fortran Syntax

mwPointer mxCreateDoubleMatrix(m, n, ComplexFlag)
mwSize m, n
integer*4 ComplexFlag

Arguments

m

Number of rows

n

Number of columns

ComplexFlag

Specify either mxREAL or mxCOMPLEX. If the data you plan to put into the mxArray has no imaginary components, specify mxREAL in C (0 in Fortran). If the data has some imaginary components, specify mxCOMPLEX in C (1 in Fortran).

Returns

Pointer to the created mxArray, if successful. If unsuccessful in a stand alone (non-MEX-file) application, mxCreateDoubleMatrix returns NULL in C (0 in Fortran). If unsuccessful in a MEX-file, the MEX-file terminates and control returns to the MATLAB prompt. mxCreateDoubleMatrix is unsuccessful when there is not enough free heap space to create the mxArray.

Description

Use mxCreateDoubleMatrix to create an m-by-n mxArray. mxCreateDoubleMatrix initializes each element in the pr array to 0. If you set ComplexFlag to mxCOMPLEX in C (1 in Fortran), mxCreateDoubleMatrix also initializes each element in the pi array to 0.

If you set ComplexFlag to mxREAL in C (0 in Fortran), mxCreateDoubleMatrix allocates enough memory to hold m-by-n real elements. If you set ComplexFlag to mxCOMPLEX in C (1 in Fortran), mxCreateDoubleMatrix allocates enough memory to hold m-by-n real elements and m-by-n imaginary elements.

Call mxDestroyArray when you finish using the mxArray. mxDestroyArray deallocates the mxArray and its associated real and complex elements.
