Overview

The StructMatrix class is used for storing hash values that are sent to or received from Octave struct matrices. Usage:

require 'octave'

struct_matrix = Octave::StructMatrix.new(17, 1, "name", "age", "married"
17.times do |m|
  struct_matrix[m, 0]["name"] = "Bob #{m}"
  struct_matrix[m, 0]["age"] = (rand * 100).to_i
  struct_matrix[m, 0]["married"] = (rand > 0.5)
end

p struct_matrix[16, 0]
