Write Fortran Programs to Read MAT-File Data

Read and write MATLAB^® data from Fortran programs

Before writing a custom application, determine if MATLAB meets your data exchange needs by reviewing the following topics.

The save and load functions.
Supported File Formats for Import and Export.
The importdata function and Import Images, Audio, and Video Interactively.
