matfile

Matfile is a library for reading (and in the future writing) Matlab ".mat" files.

Please note: This library is still alpha quality software and only implements a subset of the features supported by .mat files.

Feature Status

Matfile currently allows you to load numeric arrays from .mat files (all floating point and integer types, including complex numbers). All other types are currently ignored.

• [ ] Loading .mat files
  • [x] Numeric arrays
  • [ ] Cell arrays
  • [ ] Structure arrays
  • [ ] Object arrays
  • [ ] Character arrays
  • [ ] Sparse arrays
• [ ] Writing .mat files

Examples

Loading a .mat file from disk and accessing one of its arrays by name:

let file = std::fs::File::open("data.mat")?;
let mat_file = matfile::MatFile::parse(file)?;
let pos = mat_file.find_by_name("pos");
println!("{:#?}", pos);

Might output something like:

Some(
    Array {
        name: "pos",
        size: [
            2,
            3
        ],
        data: Double {
            real: [
                -5.0,
                8.0,
                6.0,
                9.0,
                7.0,
                10.0
            ],
            imag: None
        }
    }
)
