The MATLAB File Exchange isn’t just for MATLAB code files

The MATLAB File Exchange is a great place to share MATLAB code, but did you know it can be used to share other MATLAB related files as well?

Recently, Peter (a MATLAB Desktop developer and frequent blogger here) posted the pre-R2008b default Desktop layout. If you’ve been following this blog, you’ll remember that we talked about the new Desktop layout in R2008b. It turns out that not everyone likes this new layout, but rather than make people wait for another release of MATLAB, we decided to post the old layout to MATLAB Central.

I’d encourage you to post your own Desktop layout to The MATLAB File Exchange if you think there’s value in the arrangement you use. For more about creating your own Desktop layout, check out this blog entry.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
