[Python-MATLAB] 在Python中调用MATLAB的API

可以参考官方的说明文档:

http://cn.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/get-started-with-matlab-engine-for-python.html

MATLAB Engine API的使用文档:

http://cn.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab-engine-for-python.html

原材料:

1、MATLAB 2015a  32位的

2、Python 2.7.13    32位的

安装:

1、运行cmd,切换到matlab的目录下:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MATLAB\MATLAB Production Server\R2015a\extern\engines\python

由于这个文件夹是在C盘的,安装时有可能会遇到写权限的问题。如果出现write permission,可以通过右击该文件夹,选择 属性->安全->编辑,给当前用户赋予完全控制的权限。

> python setup.py install 

即可完成安装。

2、python中调用matlab的API示例:

#coding=utf-8
import matlab.engine

if __name__ == ‘__main__‘:
    eng = matlab.engine.start_matlab(‘MATLAB_R2015a‘)
    a = eng.sqrt(4.0)
    print type(a),a
    eng.quit()
    pass

在Python中创建MATLAB数组

1、创建1XN数组

import matlab.engine
A = matlab.int8([1,2,3,4,5])
print type(A),A.size,A

#输出:
<class ‘matlab.mlarray.int8‘> (1, 5) [[1,2,3,4,5]]

Attribute or Method

Purpose

size

Size of array returned as a tuple

reshape(size)

Reshape array as specified by sequence size

 2、创建多维数组

import matlab.engine
A = matlab.double([[1,2,3,4,5], [6,7,8,9,10]])
print(A)

 

3、在Python中索引MATLAB数组

这里的MATLAB数组索引跟在MATLAB的IDE里面不一样,MATLAB是从1开始,而在Python中是从0开始索引

import matlab.engine
A = matlab.int8([1,2,3,4,5])
print(A[0])

#输出:
[1,2,3,4,5]

由于A是1X5的矩阵,A[0]就是[1,2,3,4,5],如果要在A里面索引出4,则需要输入:

print A[0][3]

  

4、在Python中对MATLAB数组切片

这里语法跟Python中没多少差别,直接使用即可

import matlab.engine
A = matlab.int8([1,2,3,4,5])
print(A[0][1:4])

#输出:
[2,3,4]

切片赋值,也可以从一个MATLAB数组赋值到另一个MATLAB数组:

A = matlab.double([[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8]]);
A[0] = [10,20,30,40]
print(A)

#输出:
[[10.0,20.0,30.0,40.0],[5.0,6.0,7.0,8.0]]

A = matlab.int8([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]);
A[0][2:4] = [30,40]
A[0][6:8] = [70,80]
print(A)
#输出:
[[1,2,30,40,5,6,70,80]]

注意:

Note:   Slicing MATLAB arrays behaves differently from slicing a Python list. Slicing a MATLAB array returns a view instead of a shallow copy.
Given a MATLAB array and a Python list with the same values, assigning a slice results in different results as shown by the following code.
A = matlab.int32([[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]])
L = [[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]]
A[0] = A[0][::-1]
L[0] = L[0][::-1]
print(A)
[[2,2],[3,4],[5,6]]
print(L)
[[2, 1], [3, 4], [5, 6]]

数组reshape  

import matlab.engine
A = matlab.int8([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9])
A.reshape((3,3))
print(A)
[[1,4,7],[2,5,8],[3,6,9]]

 

Python中MATLAB支持的数据类型:

matlab Class

Constructor Call in Python

matlab.double

matlab.double(initializer=None, size=None, is_complex=False)

matlab.single

matlab.single(initializer=None, size=None, is_complex=False)

matlab.int8

matlab.int8(initializer=None, size=None, is_complex=False)

matlab.int16

matlab.int16(initializer=None, size=None, is_complex=False)

matlab.int32

matlab.int32(initializer=None, size=None, is_complex=False)

matlab.int64[a]

matlab.int64(initializer=None, size=None, is_complex=False)

matlab.uint8

matlab.uint8(initializer=None, size=None, is_complex=False)

matlab.uint16

matlab.uint16(initializer=None, size=None, is_complex=False)

matlab.uint32

matlab.uint32(initializer=None, size=None, is_complex=False)

matlab.uint64[b]

matlab.uint64(initializer=None, size=None, is_complex=False)

matlab.logical

matlab.logical(initializer=None, size=None)[c]

matlab.object

No constructor. When a function returns a handle to a MATLAB object, the engine returns a matlab.object to Python.

[a] In Python 2.7 on Windows, matlab.int64 is converted to int32 in MATLAB. Also, MATLAB cannot return an int64 array to Python.

[b] In Python 2.7 on Windows, matlab.uint64 is converted to uint32 in MATLAB. Also, MATLAB cannot return a uint64 array to Python.

[c] Logicals cannot be made into an array of complex numbers.

 

奇异值分解示例:

#coding=utf-8
import matlab.engine
from numpy import *

if __name__ == ‘__main__‘:
    eng = matlab.engine.start_matlab(‘MATLAB_R2015a‘)
    A = matlab.double([[1,2],[5,6]])
    print type(A),A.size,A
    print eng.eig(A)
    eng.quit()
    pass
