\r\n\r\nSean<\/a>'s pick this week is Hyperlink<\/a> by Michele Scalseggi<\/a>.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nHave you ever wanted to quickly put a hyperlink at the command line or in the help for a function you're writing? What about\r\na link that when clicked evaluates some MATLAB code<\/a>?\r\n\r\nMichele's easy to use Hyperlink command will do this for you. It interprets whether you're targeting a website or MATLAB\r\nexpression and builds the link so that when displayed at the command line will do what you want.\r\n\r\nFor example, let's put \"why\"<\/i> at the command line so that when you click the link it evaluates why()<\/tt>:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAlternatively, let's have it take you to MathWorks' website:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWe could easily pass this into fprintf<\/tt> or disp<\/tt> to make a nice sentence with hyperlinks. Here's a Matrix<\/i> themed example:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFinally, perhaps you want to put a hyperlink in the help<\/tt><\/a> of a function you're writing. I'd encourage you to use the clipboard<\/tt><\/a> command to directly copy it in.\r\n
clipboard('copy'<\/span>,Hyperlink('edit(''example.m'')'<\/span>,'Open Example'<\/span>))<\/pre>\r\nSo now you can paste this into the help of your function directly\r\n
function<\/span> y = myfun(x)\r\n% MYFUN takes the sin of x<\/span>\r\n%<\/span>\r\n% <a href=\"matlab:edit('example.m')\">Open Example<\/a><\/span>\r\n% <\/span>\r\n\r\ny = sin(x);\r\n<\/pre>\r\nThen asking for help on myfun will show the link:\r\n\r\n\r\n
Comments<\/a><\/h3>\r\nGive it a try and let us know what you think here<\/a> or leave a comment<\/a> for Michele.\r\n\r\n
