About MATFOR
matfor logo
MATFOR® is a set of libraries developed to enhance computation and visualization in different programming environments: C++, Fortran, Visual Basic and Visual C#. Especially designed for scientists and engineers, MATFOR adds to programs with dynamic visualization capabilities, shortens numerical codes and speeds up development process. By adding a few lines of MATFOR codes to your program, you can easily perform real-time animations, or even produce a movie presentation file as you execute your program.

Express vs Standard Function Compares

 
　Express Comparison with Standard Functions

　　Major differences between MATFOR Express and Standard versions:
(1) The maximum number of elements in an mfArray variable is limited to 10,000.
(2) Some of the graphic functions (FGL) are not supported (see following comparison sheet).
(3) The MATFOR GUI system is not supported.
(4) Users can run MATFOR program only on the host machine.
