This week is a big World Wide training week at The MathWorks. I was looking for some way to visualize the globe in MATLAB. Of course, I looked to the File Exchange to see what we could do. Our very… read more >>

This second video in the cleaner code series talks about magic numbers, and how to avoid them. It also covers naming conventions for function names and binary variables. Use of subfunctions is also… read more >>

I made a video about publishing reports from MATLAB a while back. Santosh, one of my fellow MathWorkers, was curious what people have been doing with this capability, so he added a nice Google search… read more >>

How many of us are buying Lego MindStorms kits “for the kids to play with” this Christmas? If so, bring home your laptop for the holidays, fire-up Simulink (and a lot of code gen… read more >>

This week’s video is covering a relatively new feature of the editor: cell mode. Specifically, I am demonstrating the publication of reports from your code.
If you ever need to create… read more >>

The new MATLAB programming contest is up as of this morning. I am issuing a challenge to all of you:
If you write a better contest entry than me by the end of the twilight phase (Friday at Noon), I… read more >>

Have you ever wanted to zoom in on one axes and have another axes zoom in at the same time? Have you ever wanted to zoom in only on the x-axis but not the y-axis? If so, please watch this minute… read more >>
