1 MAT-File FormatClass. This field contains a value that identifies the MATLAB data typerepresented by the data element. For objects, the Class byte has the value 3(mxOBJECT_CLASS). For more information, see “Class” on page 1-16.Dimensions Array SubelementThis subelement specifies the size of each dimension of the array. Thissubelement is common to all array types. For more information, see“Dimensions Array Subelement” on page 1-17.Array Name SubelementThis subelement specifies the name assigned to the array. This subelement iscommon to all array types. For more information, see “Array NameSubelement” on page 1-18.Class Name SubelementThis subelement specifies the name assigned to the object class. Thissubelement is an array of 8-bit characters (miINT8).Field Name Length SubelementThis subelement specifies the maximum length of a Field Name. See “FieldName Length Subelement” on page 1-30 for more information.Field Names SubelementThis subelement specifies the name of each field in the structure. See “FieldNames Subelement” on page 1-30 for more information.Fields SubelementThis subelement contains the value stored in a field. See “Fields Subelement”on page 1-30 for more information.ExampleFigure 1-16 illustrates how the MATLAB object in this example is representedin a MAT-file.X = inline(`t^2');The figure only shows the first four subelements of the object. For an examplethat shows the remaining subelements, see “Example” on page 1-31.1-34
