Create or Delete Fortran Array

Create array of specified type, allocate and free memory

Use the mxCreate* functions to create MATLAB® arrays. Use the mxCalloc, mxMalloc, and mxRealloc functions to allocate dynamic memory.

You allocate memory whenever you use an mxCreate* function or when you call the mxCalloc and associated functions. Use mxDestroyArray to free memory allocated by the mxCreate* functions. Use mxFree to free memory allocated by the mxCalloc and associated functions.
