MATLAB MAT-file Viewer plugin 1.3.8.2

MATLAB MAT-file Viewer plugin 1.3.8.2

The MATLAB® MAT-file Viewer plugin is three plugins at the same time.

1. It adds packer support for the MAT-file type, i.e. you can treat MATLAB MAT-files (Version 4 and 5) like archives. For examples, it is possible to view variables of a MAT-file, to compare the variables of two open MAT-files, to delete variables from a MAT-file, or to add real numeric data from a text file to a MAT-file.

2. It can be used as content plugin, too, showing information about MAT-file version, platform (Version 5 MAT-file only), creation time (Version 5 MAT-file only) and number of variables.

3. The lister view shows the variables of a MAT-file, their size (number of elements), their size in Bytes and their class.

Last not least, a simple stand-alone MAT-file Viewer 5mat.exe has been added which uses the lister plugin interface of the MAT-file Viewer plugin.

It is strongly recommended to read the Readme for installation details and MATLAB dependencies.

Thomas Beutlich (Author)	MATLAB MAT-file Viewer plugin 1.3.8.2 9.06.2006 - 01:30 2Gajendra Agrawal I can tell you as soon as I am back from vacation. Hopefully it will not be too late for you then.
Gajendra Agrawal	MATLAB MAT-file Viewer plugin 1.3.8.2 8.06.2006 - 15:33 Can i get the source file for this one? Or could some one tell me how to get the data of char type or numeric type. i am using mxGetString() and getting a run time error. for retriving data from a numeric field i am using mxGetPr() it retrives null to me. IF i use mxArrayToString() i am getting a null value.
Thomas Beutlich (Author)	MATLAB MAT-file Viewer plugin 1.3.8.2 15.05.2006 - 20:48 Just to mark the 10000th download...
elham khalaji	MATLAB MAT-file Viewer plugin 1.3.8.2 11.04.2006 - 03:20 I need a software to view a dll functions and their variables. Thanks alot.
