MATLAB Engine API for C++
The MATLAB Engine API for C++ provides an interface between the C++ programming language and MATLAB. This API enables C++ programs to launch MATLAB, evaluate MATLAB functions with arguments, and exchange data between MATLAB and C++ programs.
The MATLAB Engine API for C++ supports the MATLAB Data API, which provides a way for applications running outside of MATLAB to work with MATLAB data through a MATLAB-neutral interface. For more information on the MATLAB Data API, see MATLAB Data API.
Topics
Setup and Build Engine Applications
This API enables C++ programs to use MATLAB as a computational engine.
