Development Environment
The MATLAB® development environment is a set of tools to help you use MATLAB functions and files. Many of these tools are graphical user interfaces.
Fundamentals
- Starting and Quitting MATLAB - How to run MATLAB, and startup and shutdown options.
- Using the Desktop - The MATLAB desktop is what you first see when you start MATLAB. It manages the other tools, including the Launch Pad, which is described here.
- Running MATLAB Functions - Working in the Command Window and Command History window.
- Getting Help - The Help browser, help functions, printed documentation, and other ways to get help.
Additional Development Environment Tools
- Workspace, Path, and File Operations - Use the Workspace browser, Array Editor, search path tool, Current Directory browser, and equivalent functions.
- Importing and Exporting Data - Techniques for bringing data created by other applications into the MATLAB workspace, including the Import Wizard, and packaging MATLAB workspace variables for use by other applications.
- Editing and Debugging M-Files - MATLAB's graphical Editor/Debugger and debugging functions for creating and changing M-files (program files containing MATLAB functions).
- Improving M-File Performance - the Profiler - Tool that measures where an M-file is spending its time. Use it help you make speed improvements.
- Interfacing with Source Control Systems - Access your source control system from within MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow.
- Using Notebook - Access MATLAB's numeric computation and visualization software from within a word processing environment (Microsoft Word).
