mxCreateScalarDouble

Create scalar, double-precision array initialized to specified value

Fortran Syntax

• integer*4 function mxCreateScalarDouble(value)
  real*4 value
  

Arguments

value
   The desired value to which you want to initialize the array.

Returns

A pointer to the created mxArray, if successful. mxCreateScalarDouble is unsuccessful if there is not enough free heap space to create the mxArray. If mxCreateScalarDouble is unsuccessful in a MEX-file, the MEX-file prints an Out of Memory message, terminates, and control returns to the MATLAB prompt. If mxCreateScalarDouble is unsuccessful in a stand-alone (nonMEX-file) application, mxCreateScalarDouble returns 0.

Description

Call mxCreateScalarDouble to create a scalar double mxArray. mxCreateScalarDouble is a convenience function that can be used in place of the following code.

• pm = mxCreateDoubleMatrix(1, 1, 0)
  mxCopyReal8ToPtr(value, mxGetPr(pm), 1)
  

When you finish using the mxArray, call mxDestroyArray to destroy it.
