Scilab Function

mtlb_sparse - convert sparse matrix

### Sequence d'appel

  `Y=mtlb_sparse(X)`

### Parametres

- `X` : sparse matrix
- `Y` : sparse matrix in Matlab format

### Description

`Y=mtlb_sparse(X)` is used to convert `X`, a Scilab sparse matrix, to Matlab format. `Y` is the a variable with type 7, i.e. `type(Y)` is equal to 7. This function should be used in mexfiles (a Matlab mexfile containing sparse matrices can be used only if the Scilab sparse matrices are converted to that format). The functions `full` and `spget` work with this format.

Other operations and functions using this format can be overloaded with Scilab functions using the prefix "%msp". For instance the function `%msp_p(x)` (see SCIDIR/macros/percent directory) is used to display such "type 7" objects.

### Exemples

    X=sparse(rand(2,2)); Y=mtlb_sparse(X);
    Y, full(Y), [ij,v,mn]=spget(Y)
