- I am a student at the University of Georgia and have recently
- purchaced the student edition of Matlab for MS-DOS machines. I
- was hoping that Matlab would be able to be compiled into object code
- or translated into C so that I could link it with my programs. The
- manual only mentions how to read the 'LOAD/SAVE' files, and shelling
- out of my application, loading matlab, etc. is way to costly.
-
- So my question: How does one efficiently use Matlab as a program's
- "computational engine" in demanding applications like 3D graphics
- routines? Is generating object code (or C translations) possible
- in the Professional version? Through any Shareware, etc.?
-
- Advance Thanks,
