MATLAB

About MATLAB
MATLAB-MATrix LABoratory A numerical computing environment and programming language. Created by MathWorks Inc, MATLAB allows easy matrix manipulation, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs in other languages.

The beginning
MATLAB was invented in the late 1970s by Cleve Moler, then chairman of the Computer Science ,Department at the University of New Mexico In the mid to late 1970s, he was one of the authors of LINPACK and EISPACK, Fortran libraries for numerical computing.

 He invented MATLAB, a numerical computing package, to give his students at the University of New Mexico easy access to these libraries without writing Fortran. In 1984, he co-founded The MathWorks with Jack Little to commercialize this program.

An extension of MATLAB
Simulink (Simulation and Link) is an extension of MATLAB by Mathworks Inc. It works with MATLAB to offer modeling, simulating, and analyzing of dynamical systems under a graphical user interface (GUI) environment. Simulink link contains toolboxes called blocksets

Matrix operations
A=2; constant B=[ 1 2 3 ;4 5 6;7 8 9]; 3x3 matrix C= [ 2 4 6 8 9]; D= C+2; E= B (transpose) F= inv(B) inverse

Programming constructs
>> y=[]; >> for x=0.5:0.5:5 y=[y,2*x]; end >> y >> n=3; >> while(n ~= 0) n=n-1 end >> if(n < 0) -n elseif (n == 0) n=365 else n end

Files in matlab
*.m files both script and functions *.mat files Matlab data files in Simulink *.mdl

 function y = average(x) % AVERAGE Mean of vector elements. % %AVERAGE(X), where X is a vector, is the mean of vector % elements. Nonvector input results in an error.% [m,n] = size(x); if (~((m == 1) | (n == 1)) | (m == 1 & n == 1)) error('Input must be a vector') end y = sum(x)/length(x); z = 1:99; average(z)

Script and mat

Sequence of commands- automated MAT file >> u = [1 3 -4]; >> v = [2 -1 7]; >> whos Name Size Bytes Class u 1x3 24 double array v 1x3 24 double array Grand total is 6 elements using 48 bytes >> save stuff.mat >> ls stuff.mat

Plots
x = 0:0.1:4; y = sin(x.^2).*exp(-x); stem(x,y)

 x=0:0.05:5; y=sin(x.^2); plot(x,y);

Quiver field visualization

Graphic User Interfaces in MATLAB The GUI contains

An axes component A pop-up menu listing three different data sets that correspond to MATLAB functions: peaks, membrane, and sinc A static text component to label the pop-up menu Three push buttons, each of which provides a different kind of plot: surface, mesh, and contour

Programming User Interface Controls

Check Box Edit Text List Box Pop-Up Menu Push Button Radio Button Slider Toggle Button

Skeletal template M-Code is generated automatically for the GUI Callback functions are available for user control

Callback functions
ButtonDownFcn Executes when the user presses a mouse button while the pointer is on or within five pixels of a component or figure. Callback Control action. Executes, for example, when a user clicks a push button or selects a menu item.

 function pushbutton1_Callback(hObject,eventdata) display Goodbye close(gcbf)

Graphics handler for GUI

Handler manipulate graphic properties of GUI

 Dynamic Link Libraries-Access functions stored in external shared library (.dll) files Java--Work with objects constructed from Java API and third-party class packages Component Object Model and ActiveX--Integrate COM components into your application Web Services--Communicate between applications over a network using SOAP and WSDL Serial Port Devices- communicate with ports for external data transfer
