using custom matlab function

[MarkusZechner]

I am trying to use a custom matlab function in julia but I am getting an error.

I tried to do the following:

mat"""

function [result] = run(x_pos, y_pos)

result = x_pos + y_pos;

end

"""

but I am getting this error:

Error: Function definition not supported in this context. Create functions in code file.

Unrecognized function or variable 'x_pos'.

end;
|
Error: Illegal use of reserved keyword "end".

How can I use a custom matlab function in julia?

Thanks a lot!

My way of working, in case I need to use a matlab function is:

• Copy the function file in the path/directory where I have julia's session
• Open the MATLAB session in julia MSession()
• Create a function that wraps the matlab function. Something like this:

function result(x_pos::Number, y_pos::Number)
x_pos = mxarray(x_pos)
y_pos = mxarray(y_pos)

mat"""
answer = result($x_pos, $y_pos)
"""

@mget(answer)
end

I tried to do the following:

mat"""

function [result] = run(x_pos, y_pos)

result = x_pos + y_pos;

end

"""

The issue is that this is not valid MATLAB code that can be executed in the MATLAB command window. The approach from @jbarberia should work. Alternatively you can run addpath in MATLAB to add other directories with matlab code, e.g.

custom_path = abspath(...)
mat"""
addpath($custom_path)
"""

Hope that solves that :)
