Storing MATLAB structs in Java objects

Question

I\'m using Java HashMap in MATLAB

h = java.util.HashMap;

And while strings, arrays and matrices works seemlessly with it

h.         


        

Answer 1

Matlab R2008b and newer have a containers.Map class that provides HashMap-like functionality on native Matlab datatypes, so they'll work with structs, cells, user-defined Matlab objects, and so on.

% Must initialize with a dummy value to allow numeric keys
m = containers.Map(0, 0, 'uniformValues',false);
% Remove dummy entry
m.remove(0);

m(5) = 'test';
m(7) = magic(4);
m(9) = struct('foo',42, 'bar',1:3);
m(5), m(7), m(9) % get values back out
