Comments

Compile m-functions with MATLAB Compiler version 4 and later.  Among the files generated, two files are used: the .dll, or .so, file and the .ctf file.  The .ctf file needs to be in the same directory as the .dll file.

Multiple functions are supported in the same DLL.

Functions sharing a name with an existing HyperGraph math function are overwritten by the HyperGraph math function.
