A Guide to MATLAB Object-Oriented Programming

by Andy H. Register

Overview

The first book to deliver broad coverage of the documented and undocumented object-oriented features of MATLAB, this guide aids readers in creating effective software. Eight basic functions are discussed: constructor, subsref, subsasgn, display, struct, fieldnames, get, and set. Also explored are inheritance topics and the Class Wizard, a powerful MATLAB class generation tool. The final section delves into advanced strategies, including vectorized classes, containers, static variables, and function fronts, protected visibility, and pass-by-reference visibility. Included is a CD-ROM with source code, enabling readers to experiment with modifications and apply new concepts.
