mxGetPi (C)

(Not recommended) Imaginary data elements in mxDOUBLE_CLASS array

expand all in page

mxGetPi is not available in the interleaved complex API. Use mxGetComplexDoubles instead. For more information, see Version History.

C Syntax

#include "matrix.h"
mxDouble *mxGetPi(const mxArray *pm);

Description

When building MEX files using the separate complex API, call mxGetPi to get the contents of the pi field. pi is an array containing the imaginary data of the mxArray. Use mxGetPi on arrays of type mxDOUBLE_CLASS only. For other numeric mxArray types, use mxGetImagData.

Call mxIsDouble to validate the mxArray type. Call mxIsComplex to determine whether the data is complex.

If any of the input matrices to a function are complex, then MATLAB® allocates the imaginary parts of all input matrices.
