mxCreateCellMatrix (MATLAB Application Program Interface)

Create an unpopulated two-dimensional cell mxArray

C Syntax

#include "matrix.h"
mxArray *mxCreateCellMatrix(int m, int n);

Arguments

m
The desired number of rows.

n
The desired number of columns.

Returns

A pointer to the created cell mxArray, if successful. If unsuccessful in a stand-alone (nonMEX-file) application, mxCreateCellMatrix returns NULL. If unsuccessful in a MEX-file, the MEX-file terminates and control returns to the MATLAB prompt. Insufficient free heap space is the only reason for mxCreateCellMatrix to be unsuccessful.

Description

Use mxCreateCellMatrix to create an m-by-n two-dimensional cell mxArray. The created cell mxArray is empty; that is, mxCreateCellMatrix initializes each cell to NULL. To put data into cells, call mxSetCell.

mxCreateCellMatrix is identical to mxCreateCellArray except that mxCreateCellMatrix can create two-dimensional mxArrays only, but mxCreateCellArray can create mxArrays having any number of dimensions greater than 1.

Example

See mxcreatecellmatrix.c in the mx subdirectory of the examples directory.
