Hi,

I have noticed that when using R.matlab that the connection can become quite
slow though it remains open.
I have to kill both my R session and Matlab to start over and establish a
new connection (eg. close(matlab)  - seems hung).
Is there a way around this?

I have been doing the following to establish the connection :

Matlab(host="localhost", port=9999, remote=FALSE)
matlab<- Matlab()
isOpen.Matlab(matlab)

Also, the initial examples in the help file work fine, but I encounter an
error when trying to evaluate the following expression:
# Create a function (M-file) on the Matlab server
setFunction(matlab, " \
function [win,aver]=dice(B) \
%Play the dice game B times \
gains=[-1,2,-3,4,-5,6]; \
plays=unidrnd(6,B,1); \
win=sum(gains(plays)); \
aver=win/B; \
");

> evaluate(matlab, "[w,a]=dice(1000);")
Error in list("evaluate(matlab, "[w,a]=dice(1000);")" = <environment>,  :

[2008-03-17 17:56:04] Exception: MatlabException: Undefined function or
method '

  at throw(Exception(...))

  at readResult(this)
  at evaluate.Matlab(matlab, "[w,a]=dice(1000);")
  at evaluate(matlab, "[w,a]=dice(1000);")

Also, can one use this package to call objects generated in Matlab using
various toolboxes?
