You can call your own C or Fortran subroutines from MATLAB as if they
were built-in functions. MATLAB callable C and Fortran programs are referred to as MEX-files. MEX-files are dynamically linked subroutines that the MATLAB interpreter can automatically load and execute. MEX-files have several applications: Large pre-existing C and Fortran programs can be called from MATLAB without having to be rewritten as M-files. Bottleneck computations (usually for-loops) that do not run fast enough in MATLAB can be recoded in C or Fortran for efficiency. MEX-files are not appropriate for all applications. MATLAB is a high-productivity system whose specialty is eliminating time-consuming, low-level programming in compiled languages like Fortran or C. In general, most programming should be done in MATLAB. Don't use the MEX facility unless your application requires it. Check out the documentation in the external interfaces section either in the matlab help section or at the Mathworks web site (www.mathworks.com). -----Original Message----- From: raghu330 [mailto:] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 4:05 AM To: Subject: [matlab] Fortran to matlab source code conversion Hello All! I have around 250+ fortran files. and I want to convert them to MATLAB. Is there any way, this can be done.. Its easy to generate C/C++ code from MATLAB scripts and vice-versa. but is there a sthg similar for FORTRAN.. thank you all in advance Cheers Raghu _____________________________________ Note: If you do a simple "reply" with your email client, only the author of this message will receive your answer.
