subsindex - Convert object to array index - MATLAB (original) (raw)

Main Content

Convert object to array index

Description

MATLAB® calls subsindex to convert an object into an integer index. Define a subsindex method for your class if you want to use objects of the class as array indices.

ind = subsindex(A) called by MATLAB for the expression X(A) when A is an object. subsindex must return the value of the object as a zero-based integer index. ind must contain integer values in the range 0 to prod(size(X))-1.

MATLAB invokes subsindex separately on all the subscripts in an expression, such as X(A,B).

Extended Capabilities

The subsindex function fully supports GPU arrays. To run the function on a GPU, specify the input data as a gpuArray (Parallel Computing Toolbox). For more information, see Run MATLAB Functions on a GPU (Parallel Computing Toolbox).
