FreeMat - Engineering Technical Computing

FreeMat is a free environment for rapid engineering and scientific prototyping and data processing. It is similar to commercial systems such as MATLAB from Mathworks, and IDL from Research Systems, but is Open Source. FreeMat is available under the GPL license.

FreeMat - Engineering Technical Computing



FreeMat is chartered to go beyond MATLAB to include features such as a codeless interface to external C/C++/FORTRAN code, parallel/distributed algorithm development (via MPI), and advanced volume and 3D visualization capabilities.

Features Include

• N-dimensional array manipulation (by default, N is limited to 6)
• Built in arithmetic for manipulation of all supported data types.
• Support for solving linear systems of equations via the divide operators.
• 2D plotting and image display
• Arbitrary-size FFT support
• Pass-by-reference support (an IDL feature)
• 3D Plotting and visualization via OpenGL
