If you’ve been using MATLAB Mobile over the past years, you’ve been able to do command-line prototyping and run files on your computer or on the cloud. With the latest release of the app, you can now view and edit MATLAB (.m) files…. read more >>

Since the long ago Ken days (circa 2009), the MATLAB Editor team and the Simulink Embedded MATLAB team have had an ongoing, under-the-covers project: integrating the Embedded MATLAB editor with the MATLAB Desktop Editor. In MATLAB R2011b and earlier, when you open a MATLAB Function block in Simulink, a separate… read more >>

Another R2011b change was recently discussed in a MATLAB Answers question. This change is when you use the run button in the MATLAB editor, the name of the script/function will be displayed in the Command Window. … read more >>

The MATLAB R2011b feature that I’ve been most anticipating is the automatic rename in the Editor. Renaming functions and variables is a common operation for programmers. It’s useful for making code easier to read and understand. For example, I often start hacking together a script by using easy-to-type names like… read more >>

It’s (almost) fall, and that means a brand-new release of MATLAB. Here are a few awesome new Desktop features in this release:… read more >>

Over the weekend, reader “mnasr14” reminded me with a comment on an old post about the oft-overlooked Go To… dialog in the Editor. The Go To… dialog provides a quick way to jump to a point in an open Editor document by line number, function name, or cell title. … read more >>

In R2010b we started highlighting non-local variables in light blue. Non-local variables are variables that are used in at least two functions that share scope. For example, a variable used both in a nested function and its parent function. We had a lot of feedback from users that when non-local… read more >>

Last Friday we released MATLAB 7.12 (R2011a), the latest and greatest in MATLAB. There are a lot of new and improved features in this release. At the same time we also released MATLAB Mobile 1.3, and there are a few new and improved things in the community to talk about… read more >>

Scripting files in Cell Mode has plenty of benefits. In addition to code organization, rapid iteration, and publishing, cell mode can also be used to present cell-by-cell interactive demonstrations…. read more >>

Quiz: When setting a breakpoint in a file open in the Editor, your primary motivation is... read more >>
