Function:

Not everyone wants to program in C++. Many folks are happy using Matlab as their research tool. Whilst not advising the use of Matlab to control a real vehicle, it seemed useful to build an application that allows Matlab to join a MOOS community - if only for listening in and rendering sensor data. iMatlab allows that to happen. In essence it "mexes" (compiles into a binary form Matlab can call directly) up some central MOOS code so it can be called from inside Matlab. The CMake build system supported by current releases of MOOS will build the project for the Linux or Windows version of Matlab.
