MATLAB Wrapper Example Project

This project serves as a lightweight example for demonstrating how to wrap C++ code in MATLAB using GTSAM.

Compiling

We follow the regular build procedure inside the example_project directory:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j8
sudo make install

sudo ldconfig  # ensures the shared object file generated is correctly loaded

Usage

Now you can open MATLAB and add the gtsam_toolbox to the MATLAB path

addpath('/usr/local/gtsam_toolbox')

At this point you are ready to run the example project. Starting from the example_project directory inside MATLAB, simply run code like regular MATLAB, e.g.

pe = example.PrintExamples();
pe.sayHello();
pe.sayGoodbye();
