C Syntax

#include "matrix.h"
mxArray *mxCreateStructMatrix(mwSize m, mwSize n, int nfields, const char **fieldnames);

Number of rows, specified as mwSize.

Number of columns, specified as mwSize.

Number of fields in each element, specified as int.

One or more field names, specified as const char **.

Field names must be valid MATLAB® identifiers, which means they cannot be NULL or empty. Field names are case-sensitive. To determine the maximum length of a field name, use the namelengthmax function.
