<h4 class="subsection">6.1.3 Creating Structures</h4>
<p>As well as indexing a structure with ".", Octave can create a structure
with the <code>struct</code> command. <code>struct</code> takes pairs of arguments,
where the first argument in the pair is the fieldname to include in the
structure and the second is a scalar or cell array, representing the
values to include in the structure or structure array. For example
<pre class="example"> struct ("field1", 1, "field2", 2)
ans =
{
field1 = 1
field2 = 2
}
</pre>
<p>If the values passed to <code>struct</code> are a mix of scalar and cell
arrays, then the scalar arguments are expanded to create a
structure array with a consistent dimension. For example
<pre class="example"> s = struct ("field1", {1, "one"}, "field2", {2, "two"},
"field3", 3);
s.field1
ans = 1
ans = one
s.field2
ans = 2
ans = two
s.field3
ans = 3
ans = 3
</pre>
<p>If you want to create a struct which contains a cell array as an
individual field, you have to put it into another cell array like in
the following example:
<pre class="example"> struct ("field1", {{1, "one"}}, "field2", 2)
ans =
{
field1 =
{
[1,1] = 1
[1,2] = one
}
field2 = 2
}
</pre>

<blockquote>
<p>Create a structure and initialize its value.
<p>If the values are cell arrays, create a structure array and initialize
its values. The dimensions of each cell array of values must match.
Singleton cells and non-cell values are repeated so that they fill
the entire array. If the cells are empty, create an empty structure
array with the specified field names.
<p>If the argument is an object, return the underlying struct.
</p></blockquote></div>
<p>The function <code>isstruct</code> can be used to test if an object is a
structure or a structure array.
