mxCreateLogicalArray (C)

N-D logical array

C Syntax

#include "matrix.h"
mxArray *mxCreateLogicalArray(mwSize ndim, const mwSize *dims);

Arguments

ndim

Number of dimensions. If you specify a value for ndim that is less than 2, mxCreateLogicalArray automatically sets the number of dimensions to 2.

dims

Dimensions array. Each element in the dimensions array contains the size of the array in that dimension. For example, setting dims[0] to 5 and dims[1] to 7 establishes a 5-by-7 mxArray. There are ndim elements in the dims array.

Returns

Pointer to the created mxArray. If unsuccessful in a standalone (non-MEX file) application, returns NULL. If unsuccessful in a MEX file, the MEX file terminates and returns control to the MATLAB® prompt. The function is unsuccessful when there is not enough free heap space to create the mxArray.

Description

Call mxCreateLogicalArray to create an N-dimensional mxArray of mxLogical elements. After creating the mxArray, mxCreateLogicalArray initializes all its elements to logical 0. mxCreateLogicalArray differs from mxCreateLogicalMatrix in that the latter can create two-dimensional arrays only.

mxCreateLogicalArray allocates dynamic memory to store the created mxArray. When you finish with the created mxArray, call mxDestroyArray to deallocate its memory.

MATLAB automatically removes any trailing singleton dimensions specified in the dims argument. For example, if ndim equals 5 and dims equals [4 1 7 1 1], then the resulting array has the dimensions 4-by-1-by-7.
