Fortran Syntax

#include "fintrf.h"
integer*4 mxIsClass(pm, classname)
mwPointer pm
character*(*) classname

Description

Each mxArray is tagged as being a certain type. mxIsClass returns 1 if the mxArray is of the specified type. Otherwise, the function returns 0.

MATLAB® does not check if the class is derived from a base class.

In Fortran:

mxIsClass(pm, 'double')

is equivalent to calling either one of the following:

mxIsDouble(pm)
mxGetClassName(pm) .eq. 'double'

It is more efficient to use the mxIsDouble form.

Input Arguments
