API for Matlab/Octave

An application-programming interface (API) for Matlab, Octave, and C++ is available online at Sourceforge.

Note:

  • The Matlab/Octave APIs (version 0.4.3) does not fully support the recently published standard AES69-2015. The full support is provided with the version 1.0, which is now in the stage of release candidate 2 (1.0RC2).
  • The latest version of the C++ API (version 1.0) is in accordance with the AES69-2015 standard.

If you have questions about this API, please send an email to the mailing list. You don't have to be a member of the mailing list to send a message to the list moderator.

SOFAlizer: Example of loading SOFA files in C++

We have a draft source code for a plug-in called SOFAlizer for the VLC-Player. This plug-in is not available within the official release of the VLC-Player yet (but we work on that ;-) ).

The file sofalizer.c can serve as an example of how to load SOFA files in C++.

HDF5View

SOFA files are based on netCDF-4. NetCDF is based on HDF5. HDFView is a generic viewer for HDF5 files running in Java.

Thus, SOFA files can be loaded and edited in the HDFView.
