/** @defgroup matlab MATLAB Package Interface
@ingroup YAPLibrary
@{
 
The MathWorks MATLAB is a widely used package for array
processing. YAP now includes a straightforward interface to MATLAB. To
actually use it, you need to install YAP calling `configure` with
the `--with-matlab=DIR` option, and you need to call
`use_module(library(lists))` command.
 
Accessing the matlab dynamic libraries can be complicated. In Linux
machines, to use this interface, you may have to set the environment
variable <tt>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</tt>. Next, follows an example using bash in a
64-bit Linux PC:
 
```
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=''$MATLAB_HOME"/sys/os/glnxa64:''$MATLAB_HOME"/bin/glnxa64:''$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
```
where `MATLAB_HOME` is the directory where matlab is installed
at. Please replace `ax64` for `x86` on a 32-bit PC.

/*
 
 @pred start_matlab(+ _Options_) 
 
 
Start a matlab session. The argument  _Options_ may either be the
empty string/atom or the command to call matlab. The command may fail.
 
 
*/
 
/** @pred close_matlab 
 
 
Stop the current matlab session.
 
 
*/
/** @pred matlab_cells(+ _SizeX_, + _SizeY_, ? _Array_)
 
MATLAB will create an empty array of cells of size  _SizeX_ and
 _SizeY_, and if  _Array_ is bound to an atom, store the array
in the matlab variable with name  _Array_.  Corresponds to the
MATLAB command `cells`.
 
 
*/
/** @pred matlab_cells(+ _Size_, ? _Array_) 
 
 
MATLAB will create an empty vector of cells of size  _Size_, and if
 _Array_ is bound to an atom, store the array in the matlab
variable with name  _Array_. Corresponds to the MATLAB command `cells`.
 
 
*/
/** @pred matlab_eval_string(+ _Command_) 
 
 
Holds if matlab evaluated successfully the command  _Command_.
 
 
*/
/** @pred matlab_eval_string(+ _Command_, - _Answer_)
 
MATLAB will evaluate the command  _Command_ and unify  _Answer_
with a string reporting the result.
 
 
*/
/** @pred matlab_get_variable(+ _MatVar_, - _List_) 
 
 
Unify MATLAB variable  _MatVar_ with the List  _List_.
 
 
*/
/** @pred matlab_initialized_cells(+ _SizeX_, + _SizeY_, + _List_, ? _Array_) 
 
 
MATLAB will create an array of cells of size  _SizeX_ and
 _SizeY_, initialized from the list  _List_, and if  _Array_
is bound to an atom, store the array in the matlab variable with name
 _Array_.
 
 
*/
/** @pred matlab_item(+ _MatVar_, + _X_, + _Y_, ? _Val_)
 
Read or set MATLAB  _MatVar_( _X_, _Y_) from/to  _Val_. Use
`C` notation for matrix access (ie, starting from 0).
 
 
*/
/** @pred matlab_item(+ _MatVar_, + _X_, ? _Val_) 
 
 
Read or set MATLAB  _MatVar_( _X_) from/to  _Val_. Use
`C` notation for matrix access (ie, starting from 0).
 
 
*/
/** @pred matlab_item1(+ _MatVar_, + _X_, + _Y_, ? _Val_)
 
Read or set MATLAB  _MatVar_( _X_, _Y_) from/to  _Val_. Use
MATLAB notation for matrix access (ie, starting from 1).

*/
/** @pred matlab_matrix(+ _SizeX_, + _SizeY_, + _List_, ? _Array_) 
 
 
MATLAB will create an array of floats of size  _SizeX_ and  _SizeY_,
initialized from the list  _List_, and if  _Array_ is bound to
an atom, store the array in the matlab variable with name  _Array_.
 
 
*/
/** @pred matlab_on 
 
 
Holds if a matlab session is on.
 
 
*/
/** @pred matlab_sequence(+ _Min_, + _Max_, ? _Array_) 
 
 
MATLAB will create a sequence going from  _Min_ to  _Max_, and
if  _Array_ is bound to an atom, store the sequence in the matlab
variable with name  _Array_.
 
 
*/
/** @pred matlab_set(+ _MatVar_, + _X_, + _Y_, + _Value_) 
 
 
Call MATLAB to set element  _MatVar_( _X_,  _Y_) to
 _Value_. Notice that this command uses the MATLAB array access
convention.
 
 
*/
/** @pred matlab_vector(+ _Size_, + _List_, ? _Array_) 
 
 
MATLAB will create a vector of floats of size  _Size_, initialized
from the list  _List_, and if  _Array_ is bound to an atom,
store the array in the matlab variable with name  _Array_.
 
 
*/
/** @pred matlab_zeros(+ _SizeX_, + _SizeY_, + _SizeZ_, ? _Array_)
 
MATLAB will create an array of zeros of size  _SizeX_,  _SizeY_,

in the matlab variable with name  _Array_.  Corresponds to the
MATLAB command `zeros`.
