// .NAME vtkMatlabMexAdapter - This is a utility class to convert VTK array
//  data to and from the Matlab mxArray format.  It is used with the Matlab
//  Mex and Matlab Engine interfaces.
//
// .SECTION Description
//
//  The default behavior of each function is to perform a deep copy of the
//  data.  Set the ShallowCopy argument to true to use the block of memory
//  that has already been allocated by either VTK or Matlab.  The result of
//  a shallow copy will produce the transpose of the data in the new system,
//  because VTK uses row major ordering and Matlab uses column major ordering
//  for data.
//
//  VTK data structures created by this class from Matlab types are stored in
//  array collections and freed when the class destructor is called.  Use the
//  Register() method on a returned object to increase its reference count by one,
//  in order keep the object around after this classes destructor has been called.
//  The code calling Register() must eventually call Delete() on the object to free
//  memory.
