I would like to change the indent size and tab size programmatically to match the style of each code base. As a future tweak for myself, I would like the editor's indent size, tab size, and path to change based on the file path, but that is a later detail. Thanks, Dan I have 2 different matlab code sets that I work with on a daily basis. I would like to change the indent size and tab size programmatically to match the style of each code base.

Thanks,

For more programmatic features than those available via visdiff (e.g., MAT comparison), use the built-in <b><i>comparisons_private</i></b> function (type or edit this function to see the available actions: textdiff, matdiff, matview etc. Note that this function is undocumented and unsupported and may change without prior notice in any Matlab release. In a related note, editorservices itself has changed across the different Matlab releases - it is not only its name that has changed (to matlab.desktop.editor) but also some of its internal functionality. Similarly, the internal Java components on which these were based have also changed. While the differences are often simple to understand and overcome, the point is that different Matlab releases have used several different interfaces over the past few years, and so you must use these interfaces with care and attention. -Yair @Andrew – you can use the built-in visdiff function to programatically access the Comparison Tool. visdiff is a fully documented and supported function.

I hope to have lots to say about it when we have something official, but for the newest unsupported api, check out:

help matlab.desktop.editor

Is it replaced by an updated API? I know we were warned, hopefully it has just been updated and not totally removed. Looks like editorservices has been removed from 2011a pre-release.

However, the object has no events associated with it. There's no easy or supported way to listen for a document being saved. It is an interesting question. What problem are you trying to solve by listening for the save? Or is it just the save button? @Tobias,

That addlistener comes from the fact that the object is a handle object (see addlistener doc). However, the object has no events associated with it. There’s no easy or supported way to listen for a document being saved.

It is an interesting question. What problem are you trying to solve by listening for the save? Or is it just the save button?
