ABSTRACT
This chapter outlines the architecture of MaTX and presents the program developing process in MaTX. It describes the matrix manipulation and the symbolic computation and explains what programming facilities are available in MaTX. The interactive matrix manipulation package Multivariable frequency domain toolbox has become a standard among users and developers of numerical software. It has found widespread acceptance in application areas in which linear algebra plays an important role, such as signal processing, process identification, and control system design. Matrix operations are fundamental to interpreter (matx); they are indicated the way they would be in a textbook or on paper, subject only to the character-set limitations of the computer. When all C language files are completed, they are compiled and linked up with the run-time library (MaTX-Lit) by C compiler to produce the desired executable program. Scientific and engineering data which were created in MaTX can be examined graphically in XPLOT.
