• Mentions
There are mainly three other significant facilities in MATLAB, which we mention
here, but leave it to the reader to explore as and when required.
9.1 Debugging Tools
MATLAB supports a built-in debugger, which consists of several commands such as
dbclear, dbcont , dbdown, dbquit, dbstack, dbstatus, dbstep, dbstop, dbtype,
dbup, etc. You can use these commands to help you debug your MATLAB programs.
You can write these commands in your M-file that you want to debug, or you can
invoke them interactively by clicking on them in the editor/debugger window. See
the on-line help under debug for details of these commands.
9.2 External Interface: Mex-files
If you wish to dynamically link your Fortran or C programs to MATLAB functions
so that they can communicate and exchange data, you need to learn about Mexfiles.
Consult MA TLAB External Interfaces [4] to learn about these files. The
process of developing Mex-files is fairly complicated and highly system-dependent.
You should perhaps first consider nondynamic linking with your external programs
through standard ASCII data files.
9.3 Graphical User Interface
It is also possible to design your own graphical user interface (CUI) with menus,
buttons, and slider controls in MATLAB. This facility is very useful if you are
developing an application package to be used by others. You can build many visual
"user-friendly" features in your application. For more information, consult Creating
Graphical User Interfaces [5].
