[SciPy-User] loadmat and figure

[x.piter at gmail.com]

Hi all.
Is it possible to load a malab figure using io.loadmat.
It works well with a matrix saved as mat file, but if I try to load a
fig file I get the following output:
scipy.io.loadmat('test2.mat')
{'a': 'Read error: Cannot read matlab functions', '__version__': '1.0', '__header__': 'MATLAB 5.0 MAT-file, Platform: GLNX86, Created on: Sat Aug  4 16:56:09 2012', '__globals__': []}
>>> 
I use scipy shipped with the Debian stable repositories.
Thanks.
Petro.
