MAT-File format Version 5 MATLAB Array Data Element Formats The MAT-file data type mi MATRIX(14)is used to represent all types of MATLAB arrays, including Numeric arrays Character arrays Sparse arrays Structures Objects The mi MATRi X data type is a compound data type. MAT-file data elements of this type are composed of multiple subelements. The subelements can be of any other MAT-file data type, including other mi MATRiX data types Figure 5 shows a mi MATRiX data element composed of three subelements. Note how each subelement is a data element with its own tag. The value of the Number of Bytes field(96 in the figure)in the data element tag includes all the subelements Figure 5: MATLAB Array Data Element with Subelements Bytes DatMAT-File Format 10 Version 5 MATLAB Array Data Element Formats The MAT-file data type miMATRIX (14) is used to represent all types of MATLAB arrays, including: • Numeric arrays • Character arrays • Sparse arrays • Cell arrays • Structures • Objects The miMATRIX data type is a compound data type.
