Any experience using PyMeshLab through Matlab?

[isvecova]

Hi,

I am trying to use PyMeshLab from Matlab (more specifically from Matlab App created in Matlab App Designer) by calling the Python scripts containing PyMeshLab via 'pyrunfile' . However, with the new Matlab version (2024a) or maybe new version of PyMeshLab, I started getting Matlab crashes stating 'QT platform plugin could not be initialized'. I assume that there is some incompatibility between the PyMeshLab Qt libraries and those of Matlab. I noticed that one of the DLLs causing this trouble is the filter_mesh_booleans.dll. Unfortunately, this problem stays even if I try different versions of PyMeshLab or Python (3.10 or 3.11).

Has anybody ever tried integrating PyMeshLab to Matlab before, or has ever encountered similar problem?

I'd be happy for any ideas. Thank you very much.
