questions about "matlab"

[E-Male]

i've got some questions about a program called matlab

i know it's a mathematics program with an own language and support for picture and video processing
the problem is i can find 1000s of guids, but no basic information:

where can i oder it? what does it cost? (or is it only for companies and universities?)

when integrating matlab code into c++ (for example an avisynth plugin) will it work on a computer without matlab installed?
can i distribute code and/or compiled software including matlab code for free?

thx for any help

A simple "matlab" at google and the first site was right. It must be so hard to find.:mad: :confused:

Because matlab is closed source and a commercial product you must buy it. If you search for free alternates try R, freemat, octave or scilab.

i've been on that site
but it's badly done, i couldn't find the price
and also no easy answers to my other questions

I'm not sure what you mean by integrating. But if you want to call matlab within a C++ application, I think you need to have Matlab installed:

Instead of requiring that all of MATLAB be linked to your program (a substantial amount of code), only a small engine communication library is needed.

You mean including your own code? I don't see why not.

About pricing. Matlab student version is 95 dollar + 59 dollar for each toolbox. I guess you need to buy this matlab engine separately.

You must go into the shop(top left) and do so like you want to buy it. There is not one price, you must select your country, use (studend, commercial, ...) and wich modules you would like. But i can say the absolute basic collection cost > 300 $.

Because mathlab is the script interpreter it must be on the machine you will use the script and you can´t compile it ease.

With the scripts you wrote you can what you will.
