The setvar command sets the MATLAB® variable X to the value of the matrix Y.

The variable Y can be a MapleMatrix or a MatlabMatrix. The effect of Matlab[setvar] is to assign X=Y in the MATLAB® memory space.

If you specify the 'globalvar' option, then the variable X in the MATLAB® session is flagged as a global variable. Use this option for running MATLAB® functions that use global variables.

Executing the setvar command returns a null.
