Thread Subject: mxCreateDoubleMatrix() function

I have created a small interface to transfert data between a C++ program and a Matlab workspace. It is working well but I don't know how to create a 3 dimensional matrix to contain a RGB image. I'am able to create and transfert 2D matrix but not a 3D matrix like Im = zeros ( 10, 10, 10 );

How is it possible to do that?

Thank you

Hi,
you will need to use mxCreateNumericArray. The doc gives a three dimensional
example.

Yes I have finally found this function but I don't have any result. If I call the function like that

const mwSize dims[]={3,3};
const mwSize NbDimension = 2;
MatlabArray = mxCreateNumericArray( NbDimension, dims, mxUINT16_CLASS, mxREAL );

I put the variable like that
engPutVariable( m_pEngine, in_VarName.c_str(), MatlabArray ) ;

I obtain a 3x3 matrix in the matlab workspace ( only one dimension)

If I try to increase the dimension the function return 0
const mwSize dims[]={3,3};
const mwSize NbDimension = 4;
MatlabArray = mxCreateNumericArray( NbDimension, dims, mxUINT16_CLASS, mxREAL );

That's because you are reading beyond the end of valid memory. dims still just has 2 elements the way you have written it, not 4. You need to give dims 4 elements, e.g. dims[] = {3,3,3,3}.

mwSize ndim = 3
mwSize dims = {10, 10, 10}

That should give you the 10 x 10 x 10 array you referred to in your first example.
