<h1>MATLAB interface</h1>
<p>The Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) interface consists of a series of M-files
that provide the <cite>harp_import</cite>, <cite>harp_export</cite> and <cite>harp_version</cite> functions.</p>
<p>Products are represented in MATLAB as structures which can be manipulated freely
from within MATLAB. A product structure contains an array field for each variable
contained in the product.</p>
<p>Products can be exported as HARP compliant products in any of the file formats
supported by the HARP C library (netCDF/HDF4/HDF5). Such exported products can
subsequently be processed further using the <a class="reference internal" href="tools.html"><span class="doc">HARP command line tools</span></a>.</p>
<section id="dimension-types">
<h2>Dimension types</h2>
<p>The HARP C library defines several dimension types (time, vertical, latitude
etc.). This information is stored in the dimension_type field of each variable
in MATLAB. If a variable is a scalar (which has no dimensions), the dimension_type
field is not present.</p>
</section>
<section id="data-types">
<h2>Data types</h2>
<p>The HARP MATLAB interface takes care of the conversion of product and variables
from the C domain to the MATLAB domain and back. This section describes the
relation between types in the C domain and types in the MATLAB domain.</p>
<p>The table below shows the type map that is used when importing or ingesting a
product, i.e. when translating from the C domain to the MATLAB domain.</p>
<p>Variable data arrays are converted to arrays in the product structure. The data
type used for the converted array is determined from the HARP data type of the
variable according to the type map shown below. Zero-dimensional arrays of
length 1 are converted to MATLAB arrays of 1x1. The resulting MATLAB type is also
shown in the type map.</p>

<p>This will first try to import the file as an HDF4, HDF5, or netCDF file that
complies to the HARP Data Format. If the file is not stored using the HARP
format then it will try to import it using one of the available ingestion
modules.</p>
<p>If the filename argument is a list of filenames or a globbing (glob.glob())
pattern then the harp.import_product() function will be called on each
