## Detailed Description

Matlab wrapper for DS mapping functions step() to a matlab function.

The identifier of matlab function is stored in attribute `name`. This identifier defines:

- function to call to do a step(): name_step.m
- workspace variable to write input to: name_input

## Member Function Documentation

void bdm::mexDS::from_setting | ( | const Setting & | set | ) | `[inline, virtual]`

Create memory data source from mxArray.

            system={
                    type="mexDS";
                    step_name="";              // name of function to call
                    input_name="";             // name of workspace variable where inputs are written
                    rv_out = {class='RV',...}  // identification of outputs
                    rv_in = {class='RV',...}   // identification of inputs
                    };

MemDS with the above fields will be created;

Reimplemented from bdm::root.
