Installing and using the Matlab interfaces
To use the Matlab interfaces, the C library must be built according to the instructions on this page. The Matlab interfaces require C and Matlab mex compilers. It is also required to link with CFITSIO and HEALPIX libraries to support for the Healpix spherical harmonic transform as well as the FITS input-output routines.
Compiling
Makefiles are provided to build the code. However the locations of SSHT, FFTW and optionally CFITSIO and HEALPIX must be specified by defining the symbols in Bash/Shell. Alternatively you may declare them explicitely in the first section of the makefile. The compilers and their options may also be changed in the Makefile.
Once you have set the Makefile up for your system, the C library and the Matlab interfaces for S2LET may be compiled by running:
>> make matlab
To tidy up all temporary files and objects run:
>> make tidy
To remove all compiled files and programs run:
>> make clean
Source code documentation
S2LET ships with source documentation that is generated by doxygen for C and by m2html for Matlab. The Matlab documention is available here. Also, all Matlab routines are self documenting and that documentation can be accessed through the help command in Matlab, as discussed below.
Testing and using the interfaces
Once the Matlab interface is built, you must have both
s2let/src/main/matlab and ssht/src/matlab in your path in order to run the Matlab functions.
A number of Matlab functions and demos illustrating their use are
provided.
