Get an mxArray's imaginary data elements
C Syntax
Arguments
array_ptr
Pointer to an mxArray.
Returns
The imaginary data elements of the specified mxArray, on success. Returns NULL if there is no imaginary data or if there is an error.
Description
The pi field points to an array containing the imaginary data of the mxArray. Call mxGetPi to get the contents of the pi field; that is, to get the starting address of this imaginary data.
The best way to determine if an mxArray is purely real is to call mxIsComplex.
The imaginary parts of all input matrices to a MATLAB function are allocated if any of the input matrices are complex.
Examples
See convec.c, findnz.c, and fulltosparse.c in the refbook subdirectory of the examples directory.
