The load command requires that the data in the file be organized into a rectangular array.
How to load and read a mat file in matlab.
Scipy is a really popular python library used for scientific computing and quite naturally they have a method which lets you read in mat files.
And just like a box can contain something so can a structure hold your data.
When you wish to access your data you first need to get it out of the structure just like you would get something out of the box before you can use it.
If you do not specify filename the load function searches for a file named matlab mat.
Name of file specified as a character vector or string scalar.
You can get the file used in this post here.
The matlab load command.
If filename has no extension that is no text after a period load looks for a file named filename mat if filename has an extension other than mat the load function treats.
It is fine to load small mat file but when i try to load ones that s several hundreds of mb it will not succeed until i restart the matlab which is an annoying issue.
Filename can include a file extension and a full or partial path.
Reading them in is definitely the easy part.
The structure s is not your original data array but a container that contains your data array.
The simplest though least flexible procedure is to use the load command to read the entire contents of the file in a single step.
A structure is like a box.
There is more than one way to read data into matlab from a file.
Varlist is a cell array containing the names of the four variables in topography mat.
Really appreciate any insight on this.
