Globalize a matrix with variable elements

Hi...

Does Matlab allows to globalize matrix of elements using global function?

I have more than one function file and I want to put the constant values in matrices in one file and globalize it to the other files.

Thanks in advance

You can create a function for this:

function x = IC(i1, i2)

IC = [1.04 0 .716 .27 0 0; ...
      1.025 9.3 1.63 0.067 0 0; ...
      1.025 4.7 .85 -.109 0 0; ...
      1.026 -2.2 0 0 0 0; ...
      0.996 -4 0 0 1.25 .5; ...
      1.013 -3.7 0 0 .9 .3; ...
      1.026 3.7 0 0 0 0; ...
      1.016 .7 0 0 1 .35; ...
      1.032 2 0 0 0 0];
x = IC(i1, i2);

Now "IC(2,3)" replies the desired element.

Thank you Jan

Do you think I must create a new file for this new function called x?

Can I include it in my old file?

Thanks

Yes, it must be a separate file. The name of the function is IC. Excluding &nbsp ; ... &nbsp will save you some typing

    function x = IC(i1,i2)
        buf = [ .04 0 .716 .27 0 0
                1.025 9.3 1.63 0.067 0 0
                1.025 4.7 .85 -.109 0 0
                1.026 -2.2 0 0 0 0
                0.996 -4 0 0 1.25 .5
                1.013 -3.7 0 0 .9 .3
                1.026 3.7 0 0 0 0
                1.016 .7 0 0 1 .35
                1.032 2 0 0 0 0 ];

        x = buf(i1,i2)
    end
