Detailed Description

This class defines a VTK inteface to the MathWorks Matlab Engine.

When an instance of this class is created, a Matlab engine process is created as a singleton instance. Multiple instances of this interface can be created to access the Matlab engine singleton. The Matlab engine process is closed when all interface instances using it have been deleted.

The current implementation performs deep copies of all VTK data arrays passed to and from the Matlab Engine.

Member Function Documentation

static vtkMatlabEngineInterface* vtkMatlabEngineInterface::New

(

)

[static]

Create an object with Debug turned off, modified time initialized to zero, and reference counting on.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual const char* vtkMatlabEngineInterface::GetClassName

(

)

[virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

static int vtkMatlabEngineInterface::IsTypeOf

(

const char *

name

)

[static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual int vtkMatlabEngineInterface::IsA

(

const char *

name

)

[virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

static vtkMatlabEngineInterface* vtkMatlabEngineInterface::SafeDownCast

(

vtkObject *

o

)

[static]

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

void vtkMatlabEngineInterface::PrintSelf	(	ostream &	os,
		vtkIndent	indent
	)			[virtual]

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

int vtkMatlabEngineInterface::EngineOpen

(

)

Non zero if Matlab engine connection is open.

int vtkMatlabEngineInterface::EvalString

(

const char *

string

)

Input char string is a Matlab command or a series of Matlab commands read from an input file. Returns 0 if command failed to execute.

int vtkMatlabEngineInterface::PutVtkDataArray	(	const char *	name,
		vtkDataArray *	vda
	)

Send input vtkDataArray vda to the Matlab Engine as Matlab variable named name Returns 0 if variable was not created.

vtkDataArray* vtkMatlabEngineInterface::GetVtkDataArray

(

const char *

name

)

Get Matlab variable name from Matlab Engine and return as vtkDataArray (memory allocated) Returns 0 if variable could not be copied.

int vtkMatlabEngineInterface::PutVtkArray	(	const char *	name,
		vtkArray *	vda
	)

Send input vtkArray vda to the Matlab Engine as Matlab variable named name Returns 0 if variable was not created.

vtkArray* vtkMatlabEngineInterface::GetVtkArray

(

const char *

name

)

Get Matlab variable name from Matlab Engine and return as vtkArray (memory allocated) Returns 0 if variable could not be copied.

int vtkMatlabEngineInterface::OutputBuffer	(	char *	p,
		int	n
	)

Use char buffer p of length n to store console output from the Matlab Engine. buffer is filled after each call to EvalString().

int vtkMatlabEngineInterface::SetVisibleOn

(

)

Turns the Matlab Engine process visible, so users can interact directly with Matlab.

int vtkMatlabEngineInterface::SetVisibleOff

(

)

Turns visibility off.
