Constants

mxUNKNOWN_CLASS
   The class cannot be determined. You cannot specify this category for an mxArray; however, mxGetClassID can return this value if it cannot identify the class.

mxCELL_CLASS
   Identifies a cell mxArray.

mxSTRUCT_CLASS
   Identifies a structure mxArray.

mxLOGICAL_CLASS
   Identifies a logical mxArray; that is, an mxArray that stores Boolean elements logical 1 (true) and logical 0 (false).

mxCHAR_CLASS
   Identifies a string mxArray; that is an mxArray whose data is represented as mxCHAR's.

mxDOUBLE_CLASS
   Identifies a numeric mxArray whose data is stored as double-precision, floating-point numbers.

mxSINGLE_CLASS
   Identifies a numeric mxArray whose data is stored as single-precision, floating-point numbers.

mxINT8_CLASS
   Identifies a numeric mxArray whose data is stored as signed 8-bit integers.

mxUINT8_CLASS
   Identifies a numeric mxArray whose data is stored as unsigned 8-bit integers.

mxINT16_CLASS
   Identifies a numeric mxArray whose data is stored as signed 16-bit integers.

mxUINT16_CLASS
   Identifies a numeric mxArray whose data is stored as unsigned 16-bit integers.

mxINT32_CLASS
   Identifies a numeric mxArray whose data is stored as signed 32-bit integers.

mxUINT32_CLASS
   Identifies a numeric mxArray whose data is stored as unsigned 32-bit integers.

mxINT64_CLASS
   Identifies a numeric mxArray whose data is stored as signed 64-bit integers.

mxUINT64_CLASS
   Identifies a numeric mxArray whose data is stored as unsigned 64-bit integers.

mxFUNCTION_CLASS
   Identifies a function handle mxArray.
