writers.matlab¶

The Matlab Writer supports writing Matlab .mat files.

The produced files have two variables, Dimensions and Points. Dimensions is a comma-delimited list of dimension names, and Points is a double array of all dimensions of every points. Note that this output array can get very large very quickly.
