(Please reply-to-all, and post new stuff after the copy of the previous email)

I think Octave stores stuff internally as 1D. I think this sort of
thing is your best option

#include "octave/oct.h"

DEFUN_DLD (array_dim, args, nargout,"") {
  octave_value_list retval;

  const int rows=3, cols=4;

  dim_vector dv(rows,cols);
  uint32NDArray arr(dv);
  uint32_t * pix_p=(uint32_t *)arr.fortran_vec();

  for (uint32_t i=0; i<rows*cols ;i++) {
    pix_p[i] = i;
  }

  printf("%i\n",pix_p[1+rows*2]); // (2,3)

  return octave_value(arr);
}
