Tutorial: C mex matrix demo

Index matrix in C like you would do in MATLAB!

You are now following this Submission

This short tutorial illustrates basic numerical matrix computation in C. I encourage any comments from expirienced mex programmers for style improvement.

This is a nice little function to demonstrate how you can interface MATLAB and C style matricies. There is some example code included showing how you can index your C matricies like you can in MATLAB and how you can use a little function to pass data between them. The actual function is trivial, but illustrates different methods of handling multi-dimensional data using pointers.

This latest version includes updates and copies emails regarding different methods from James Tursa.
