When MATLAB throws an error, if you are in a function, you will end up at the base workspace and lose access to the variables as they were in the function when the error was thrown. This makes it… read more >>

This short video covers the difference between a “structure of arrays” and an “array of… read more >>

There are three inputs to every automatically generated callback from GUIDE:
function edit1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
A common question that I am asked is “What is the handles… read more >>

This short video starts with two minutes of trying every widget on the example GUI. Then there is five and a half minutes of showing the callbacks on the widgets.

This is the second video in this series, it shows you how to run a very simplistic optimization. For a simple problem like this one, the algorithm is more than sufficient to find a correct answer to… read more >>

A while back, I posted a video about how to place points randomly inside of an arbitrary polygon. [Click here] This video prompted a question about how to place points in a more systematic manner. If… read more >>

The distinction between MATLAB Basics and Advanced MATLAB is a somewhat arbitrary distinction. The heuristic I use is “If I knew it before I came to The MathWorks, it is basic.” It is as… read more >>

I normally only have two posts a week, but I needed to throw in this extra post to announce a new blog by my buddy Seth. Seth will be discussing Simulink every week. This week, he is discussing batch… read more >>

In the past we covered how to use UIGETFILE as an alternative to hardcoding the name of a file in your program. [click here] In this video, we will show how MATLAB can get a directory listing and use… read more >>

As with all the videos in this practical example series, the process of developing code is more important than the particular problem that is being solved. In this video, we will be covering topics… read more >>
