### Description

This example currently does nothing.

### Code

MatlabEngineFilter.cxx

    //need to set VTK_USE_MATLAB_MEX ON

    #include <vtkSmartPointer.h>
    #include <vtkMatlabEngineFilter.h>

    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
      vtkSmartPointer<vtkMatlabEngineFilter> matlabFilter =
          vtkSmartPointer<vtkMatlabEngineFilter>::New();

      return EXIT_SUCCESS;
    }

### CMakeLists.txt

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

    PROJECT(MatlabEngineFilter)

    find_package(VTK REQUIRED)
    include(${VTK_USE_FILE})

    add_executable(MatlabEngineFilter MACOSX_BUNDLE MatlabEngineFilter.cxx )

    target_link_libraries(MatlabEngineFilter ${VTK_LIBRARIES})

### Download and Build MatlabEngineFilter

Danger

The generation of tar files has not been ported to the new VTKExamples. Some tarballs may be missing or out-of-date.

Click here to download MatlabEngineFilter and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball MatlabEngineFilter.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

    cd MatlabEngineFilter/build

If VTK is installed:

    cmake ..

If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

    cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

    make

and run it:

    ./MatlabEngineFilter

WINDOWS USERS PLEASE NOTE: Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
