Matlab

The software provided on this page has been tested with Matlab version 5 and 6 on HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, and Windows (MinGW).

Configuration Utilities

The m-config package provides GNU Autoconf macros checking for Matlab features and platform incompatibilities. Documentation and a complete example project are included in the package.

See the Matlab Configuration Utilities manual, for more details.

Directory Stack

The m-dirs package provides the directory stack commands as known from various Unix shells for Matlab. Available Matlab commands are dirs, pushd, and popd.

Command names and usage is equal to the Unix shell commands:

>> pwd
ans =
/tmp
>> pushd /usr/bin
/usr/bin
/tmp
>> pwd
ans =
/usr/bin
>> popd
/tmp
>> pwd
ans =
/tmp

Regular Expressions

The m-regex package provides POSIX regular expressions for Matlab. Available Matlab commands are regcomp, regnsub, regexec, regfree, regerror, and regnomatch.

Command names and usage is equal to the POSIX functions:

pattern = '[aeiou]+';
[regex, code] = regcomp(pattern, 'x');
if code ~= 0
  error(regerror(code, regex));
end
fprintf('Pattern `%s'' has %d sub-expression(s)\n', ...
        pattern, regnsub(regex));

strings = {'foo', 'bar', '42'};
for i = 1:length(strings)
  string = strings{i};
  [match, code] = regexec(regex, string);
  if code == regnomatch
    fprintf('Pattern `%s'' does not match `%s''\n', ...
            pattern, string);
  elseif code ~= 0
    error(regerror(code, regex));
  else
    substr = string(match(1).so:match(1).eo-1);
    fprintf('Pattern `%s'' matches `%s'' in `%s''\n', ...
            pattern, substr, string);
  end
end

regfree(regex);

User Interface

The m-ui package provides wrappers for Matlab's uicontrol and uimenu family of commands. It simplifies building Matlab graphical user interfaces a lot (in case you can not or do not like to use guide):

f = ui_figure([100 100 200 150]);

ui_frame(f, [0 0 100 100]);
ui_frame(f, [100 0 100 100]);
ui_frame(f, [0 100 200 50]);
