[edit] Compile the libraries

To work with SDIF files in Matlab, you need to compile and install EASDIF library. Note: you should log in as an administrator to do this.

To compile this you need the following:

• Xcode
• CMAKE

Open Terminal and create a folder where you want things to happen.

First check out from the repository

$> cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@sdif.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/sdif co -P EASDIF_SDIF

Create a directory for the build and move into the directory

$> mkdir BDIR
$> cd BDIR

Run cmake on the files

$> cmake -DEASDIF_BUILD_MEX:BOOL=on ../EASDIF_SDIF

Compile and install the files

$> make mex
$> make install

That's it.

[edit] Utilities

Some useful command line utilities for working on SDIF files:

• querysdif
• sdifextract
• sdiftotext
• sdiftoformat and sdiftofmt
• texttosdif
• formattosdif and fmttosdif

[edit] SDIF in Matlab

You have to include the following path to be able to use the SDIF-tools in Matlab:

/usr/local/lib/matlab

Then you have access to the following functions:

• Fsdifloadfile
• Fsdifopen
• Fsdifclose
• Fsdifread
• Fsdifexist
• Fsdifwrite
