Call Mat Lab

This document provides a step-by-step process for calling MATLAB functions from a C/C++ program using Microsoft Visual C++ and MATLAB R12. The key steps are: 1) Create a Visual C++ project and add the MATLAB include and library file paths. 2) Write code to initialize the MATLAB engine, call MATLAB functions using engEvalString, and close the engine. 3) Save, compile, and build the project to test calling MATLAB from the C/C++ program.

Call MATLAB Functions from C/C++ Program

The step by step procedure is as follows

Software Used
Microsoft Visual C++ ver 6.0
MATLAB R12 Version 6

Step 1
Start Microsoft Visual c++, choose New Project, choose a win32 console application, (make sure
the box in right hand bottom side) win32 is clicked. Name the project matlabcall.

Step2
Next we need to add paths to the MATLAB Engine for the header and the library files. For that
click on tools -> options, choose directory. For the include files add new path i.e. where the
MATLAB include directory is stored. It is usually in the MATLAB folder-> extern-> include and

MATLAB folder ->extern ->lib ->win32 ->Microsoft ->msvc60. The window should look like
this

Step 3
Next click on Project -> Settings. In link tab and under the object/library modules add
Libmx.lib libmex.lib libeng.lib
The window should look like this

Step 4
Choose File-> new -> C++ source file. Name the file matlabcall
The code is all in BLUE.
a) The header files need to written first
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
#includeengine.h

This file is needed to call the subroutines needed to call the MATLAB.

Next we need to declare the variables that we are going to use.


Engine *ep;

Step 5)
Write the code in C++ file as below
void main()
{
Engine *ep;

ep = engOpen("");
engEvalString(ep,"x = (1:1:10);" );
engEvalString(ep, "y = x.^2;");
engEvalString(ep, "plot(x,y);" );
engClose(ep);
}
To start the MATLAB Engine . we typed in
ep = engOpen("");

This command initializes the MATLAB engine and returns ep to it.


To close the engine we typed.
engClose(ep);
Save the program, compile and build it.

the method described above. Some changes have been incorporated in the above-mentioned
process.
