Access Mat File In Julia

Support for reading and writing matlab files in julia.

Access mat file in julia.

The mathworks matlab program uses mat files too but as a container for holding data like functions and variables. A 3 by 1 cell array each cell contains a double vector. Mat file is a matlab matrix data matlab is a high level language and interactive environment that enables you to perform computationally intensive tasks faster than with traditional programming languages such as c c and fortran. As you know well the code in the hdf5 module checks to see what type of mat file it is.

When join is true it returns joinpath dir name for each name so that the returned strings are full paths. And just like a box can contain something so can a structure hold your data. X y and z. Example matobj matfile filename writable iswritable enables or disables write access to the file.

This library can read matlab mat files both in the older v5 v6 v7 format as well as the newer v7 3 format. A 4 by 1 double array. Join bool false sort bool true vector string return the names in the directory dir or the current working directory if not given. An array of structs with two elements and three fields.

A struct with two fields. The structure s is not your original data array but a container that contains your data array. In my case at least the mat jl file isn t compatible with julia 1 0. We could use that as the basis for an overall function that detects the type and then reads it either as a v7 3 file or an older file type.

When join is false readdir returns just the names in the directory as is. This example will create a mat file called test mat which contains six matlab variables. A structure is like a box. This is installed using the standard tools of the package manager.

I guess i have a slight preference for asking you to move closer to the matio style interface for the particular. A 2 by 3 int32 array. I m demoing julia to my lab mates next week and it would be really nice to load a big mat file and fiddle with it interactively. When you wish to access your data you first need to get it out of the structure just like you would get something out of the box before you can use it.
