Start MATLAB on Windows Platforms

Choose one of these ways to start MATLAB.

• “Select MATLAB Icon” on page 1-2

• “Call matlab from Windows System Command Line” on page 1-2
• “Call matlab from MATLAB Command Prompt” on page 1-2
• “Open File Associated with MATLAB” on page 1-3
• “Select MATLAB Executable from Windows Explorer Tool” on page 1-3

When you start MATLAB, it automatically adds the userpath folder to the search path. MATLAB also
reopens any desktop components that were open when you last shut down.

To customize startup, see “Specify Startup Options” on page 1-19.

The MATLAB startup folder is the folder you are in when you get the MATLAB prompt. To change the
default startup folder, see “MATLAB Startup Folder” on page 1-15.

If you have trouble starting MATLAB, then see “Installation and Licensing”.

Select MATLAB Icon

On Microsoft Windows platforms, double-click the MATLAB icon. With this option, the startup folder
is the last working folder from the previous MATLAB session or the custom path specified in the
Initial working folder preference. The Initial working folder preference is located in the General
Preferences page of the Preferences window.

You also can specify a custom startup folder in the MATLAB shortcut icon using the Start in field.
However, this technique is the same as setting a custom path in the Initial working folder
preference. If you enter an invalid path in the Start in field, then the startup folder is unpredictable.
To set a custom path in the Start in field:
1 Right-click the shortcut icon for MATLAB
and select
Properties from the context menu. The Properties dialog box for MATLAB opens to the
Shortcut pane.
2 In the Start in field, type the full path to a folder on your system, and then click OK.

Call matlab from Windows System Command Line

From the Windows system prompt, type matlab.

The startup folder is the folder in which you run the matlab command. To use the folder specified by
the Initial working folder preference, type:
matlab -useStartupFolderPref

Call matlab from MATLAB Command Prompt

If you start another MATLAB session from within MATLAB, then the startup folder is folder where you
call the command:

1-2
 Start MATLAB on Windows Platforms

!matlab

To display the startup folder, type pwd before calling matlab.

Open File Associated with MATLAB

The MATLAB installer sets up associations between certain file types and MathWorks® products.
MATLAB starts when you open one of those files. The startup folder is the folder containing the file.

For example, using the Windows Explorer tool, double-click a file with a .m extension. MATLAB starts
and opens the file in the MATLAB Editor.

Select MATLAB Executable from Windows Explorer Tool

When you double-click the matlab.exe file from the Windows Explorer, the startup folder is one of
the following:

• The last working folder from the previous MATLAB session.

• The custom path specified in the Initial working folder preference.

1 Startup and Shutdown

Associate .mat Files with MATLAB

To associate a .mat extension type with MATLAB, use Microsoft Windows Default Programs. For
information about using this option, see your Windows documentation.

By default, MATLAB associates the latest installed version to MATLAB file types. However, once you
use the Windows Control Panel or the file manager to associate a MATLAB version to a file type, you
must manually re-associate the type with each new installation of MATLAB. If you want to return to
the default behavior, then uninstall every MATLAB that is manually associated to any MATLAB file
type. Then reinstall the latest MATLAB release.

1-4
 Start MATLAB on Linux Platforms

Start MATLAB on Linux Platforms

To view supported Linux distributions, see Linux System Requirements.

To start MATLAB at the operating system prompt on Linux platforms, call matlab from the bin
folder in which you installed MATLAB. For example, if you installed MATLAB R2024b in the default
installation folder, then type:

/usr/local/MATLAB/R2024b/bin/matlab

If you set up symbolic links during the installation procedure, then type matlab from the folder you
specified.

After starting MATLAB, the desktop opens. Desktop components that were open when you last shut
down MATLAB reopen. If the DISPLAY environment variable is not set or is invalid, then the desktop
does not display.

MATLAB automatically adds the userpath folder to the search path.

To customize startup, see “Specify Startup Options” on page 1-19.

The MATLAB startup folder is the folder you are in when you get the MATLAB prompt. To change the
default startup folder, see “MATLAB Startup Folder” on page 1-15.

If you have trouble starting MATLAB, then see “Installation and Licensing”.

Startup Folder
On Linux platforms, the default startup folder is the folder from which you started MATLAB.

To specify the userpath as the startup folder, set the value of the environment variable
MATLAB_USE_USERWORK to 1 before startup. By default, userpath is userhome/Documents/
MATLAB. To specify a different folder for userpath, and for other options, call the MATLAB
userpath function.

Execute MATLAB Script from Remote ssh Login

To execute a MATLAB script hello.m via a remote ssh login, in a terminal window type:

ssh local.foo.com matlab -nodisplay -nojvm < hello.m

The ssh command pipes hello.m to MATLAB running on the remote host local.foo.com. The -
nodisplay option starts MATLAB without the desktop.

Choose one of these ways to start MATLAB.

• “Start from Applications Folder” on page 1-7

• “Start from Terminal Window” on page 1-7

When you start MATLAB, it automatically adds the userpath folder to the search path. MATLAB also
reopens any desktop components that were open when you last shut down.

To customize startup, see “Specify Startup Options” on page 1-19.

The MATLAB startup folder is the folder you are in when you get the MATLAB prompt. To change the
default startup folder, see “MATLAB Startup Folder” on page 1-15.

If MATLAB fails to start due to a problem with required system components such as Java® software,
then diagnostics run automatically. The software advises you of the problem and offers suggestions to
correct it. For information about other startup problems, see “Installation and Licensing”.

Start from Applications Folder

• Double-click the MATLAB icon in the matlabroot folder. Replace matlabroot with the name of
the folder in which you installed MATLAB.

The startup folder is the last working folder from the previous MATLAB session or the custom path
specified in the Initial working folder preference. The Initial working folder preference is located
in the General Preferences page of the Preferences window.

Start from Terminal Window

• To start from the Terminal window, you need to know the value of matlabroot, the full path to
the folder where MATLAB is installed. If you do not know the path, then open MATLAB from the
Applications folder, type matlabroot, and note the value. Exit MATLAB.
• Open a Terminal window.
• Navigate to the following location from your terminal window:

matlabroot/bin
• Start MATLAB.

./matlab

The startup folder is the MATLAB installation folder.

MATLAB or MATLAB Runtime for Apple Silicon Requires Java Runtime

1 Startup and Shutdown

Run Script When Exiting

When MATLAB exits, it runs the script finish.m, if the file exists in the current folder or anywhere
on the search path. You create the script containing statements such as saving the workspace or
displaying a confirmation dialog box. For more information, see finish.

There are two sample files in matlabroot/toolbox/local that you can use as the basis for your
own finish.m file:

• finishsav.m — Includes a save function so the workspace is saved to a MAT-file.

• finishdlg.m — Displays a confirmation dialog box that allows you to cancel quitting.

 Recovering Data After Abnormal Termination

Recovering Data After Abnormal Termination

If MATLAB terminates unexpectedly, then you might lose information. After you start MATLAB again,
you can try the following suggestions to recover some of the information. Some of these suggestions
refer to actions you need to take during the session before MATLAB terminates. If you did not take
those actions, then consider regularly performing them to help you recover from any future abnormal
terminations you might experience.

• Use the Command History or the file on which it is based, history.m, to run statements from the
previous session. You might be able to recreate data as it was before the termination.
• If you used the diary function or -logfile startup option for the session in which MATLAB
terminated unexpectedly, then you might be able to recover output.
• If you saved the workspace to a MAT-file during the session, then you can recover it by loading the
MAT-file.
• If you were editing a file in the Editor when MATLAB terminated unexpectedly, and you had the
backup feature enabled, then you should be able to recover changes you made to files you had not
saved. To recover, open the backup version filename.asv in the Editor. Then save it as
filename.m to use the last good version of filename.
• If you were in a Simulink® session when a segmentation violation occurred, and you have the
Simulink Autosave Options preference selected, then the last autosave file for the model reflects
the state of the autosave data before the segmentation violation. Because Simulink models might
be corrupted by a segmentation violation, a model is not autosaved after a segmentation violation
occurs. To recover the file, open the model.

Crash Reporting
If MATLAB crashes, then the MathWorks Crash Reporter dialog box prompts you to send the crash
report to MathWorks. Doing so helps us improve our products. The crash report contains one or more
crash logs containing information on the stack trace and the MATLAB configuration. You can see the
entire contents of the crash report by clicking the Show Report button in the dialog box. This data,
along with information that you provide as reproduction steps, is the only information sent to
MathWorks.

Reproduction steps are most helpful if you know what appears to cause the crash, but any
information on what you were doing at the time helps our developers better understand the cause.

• If you do know the cause of the crash, then look for information about it in the MathWorks Bug
Reports database.
• If the problem is reproducible, then submit a support case at https://www.mathworks.com/support/
contact_us.html.

Locating Crash Logs

In some situations, The Crash Reporter does not open. For example, the Crash Reporter is
unavailable when you start MATLAB with the -batch option or run it in deployed mode. If you
experience abnormal termination, but do not see the Crash Reporter, then you can email the crash
logs to MathWorks instead at https://www.mathworks.com/support/contact_us.html. The crash logs
are files with the prefix matlab_crash_dump, java.log, or hs_err. To locate the logs, type one of
these commands in the MATLAB Command Window, replacing prefix with matlab_crash_dump,
java.log, and hs_err.

• On Windows platforms:

dir(fullfile(tempdir,'prefix*'))

Alternatively, open Windows Explorer and navigate to the %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\

folder.
• On Linux and macOS platforms:

dir(fullfile('~','prefix*'))

Alternatively on macOS, open a Finder window. Press Command+Shift+G to open the Go To

Folder dialog box and enter ~.

 When MATLAB Terminates Unexpectedly

When MATLAB Terminates Unexpectedly

If MATLAB detects an internal error, then MATLAB displays one of two dialog boxes: the “MathWorks
Crash Reporter” on page 1-13 or the “MathWorks Crash Analyzer” on page 1-13. In both cases, the
internal state of MATLAB is unreliable and not suitable for further use.

MathWorks Crash Reporter

The MathWorks Crash Reporter provides an easy mechanism to send any relevant crash logs to
MathWorks Technical Support. If you click Send Report and provide a valid email address, then you
should receive an automated message within 5 minutes. If you want help, reply to the automated
message and a technical support agent will contact you.

If you do not receive an email, then you can directly contact Technical Support at https://
www.mathworks.com/support/contact_us.html.

MathWorks Crash Analyzer

When MATLAB terminates unexpectedly, MATLAB locally analyzes the crash report on your machine
to determine a potential cause. If there is a potential solution, MATLAB displays the MathWorks
Crash Analyzer dialog box. Click View Solution to open a web page in your browser that points to
the relevant MATLAB Answers™ page or MathWorks Bug Reports database. Follow the steps in the
solution. To apply a fix, you must restart MATLAB.

After viewing the solution, if you feel that it is not relevant, then click Send Report and enter
reproduction steps in the window.

If you apply the fix and still experience a crash, then click Send Report or create a support case
directly at https://www.mathworks.com/support/contact_us.html.

Specifying Java Startup Options

You can specify custom Java startup options by creating a java.opts file, a text file containing one
option per line. For example, use the -Dproperty=value command to assign a value to a system
property.

Put the java.opts file in one of the following folders:

• MATLAB startup folder, if starting MATLAB from an operating system prompt. For more
information, see “MATLAB Startup Folder” on page 1-15.
• If there is no java.opts file in the startup folder, then MATLAB checks the matlabroot/bin/
arch folder. matlabroot is the output of the matlabroot function. arch is the output of the
MATLAB computer('arch') function, for example glnxa64.

A java.opts file in this location applies to all users, but individual users might not have
permissions to modify files there.

Do not use a java.opts file in the following situations:

• To enable the use of the Java debugger, use the matlab -jdb command. For information, see
matlab (Linux) or matlab (macOS).
• To adjust the Java heap size on desktop versions of MATLAB, use “Java Heap Memory
Preferences”.
• To modify the static Java class path, create a javaclasspath.txt file. For information, see
“Static Path of Java Class Path”.

To modify the library path, create a javalibrarypath.txt file. For information, see “Locate
Native Method Libraries”.
• To override built-in options that MATLAB specifies to Java at startup. Options in java.opts are
appended to the end of the built-in list. Whether these additional options override built-in options
is JVM-dependent and can change between Java versions. To see what options MATLAB provides
to Java, run this command:
java.lang.management.ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean.getInputArguments

Default Startup Folder

By default, MATLAB sets the startup folder based on the way you start MATLAB. To identify the
startup folder, type pwd at the command line immediately after starting MATLAB and before typing
any other commands. You can change the startup folder using the General Preferences options in
the Preferences Window. For convenience, make this folder a folder that you frequently use.

Note If a startup.m file changes the current folder, then this value overrides the initial working
folder value. Do not add cd statements to startup.m. For more information about user-defined
options, see startup.

Default Folder on Windows Platforms

How You Start MATLAB Startup Folder

Double-click the MATLAB icon on Last working folder from the previous MATLAB session or the
your Windows desktop or in the Start custom path specified in the Initial working folder
menu preference. The Initial working folder preference is located
in the General Preferences page of the Preferences window.
From a Windows system prompt Folder in which you run the matlab command (To use the
folder specified by the Initial working folder preference,
use the -useStartupFolderPref startup option.)
From the MATLAB command prompt Folder in which you run the !matlab command
Double-click a file type associated Folder containing the file

Default Folder on Linux Platforms

On Linux platforms, the default startup folder is the folder from which you started MATLAB.

For more information, see “Start MATLAB on Linux Platforms” on page 1-5.

Change Startup Folder

Starting in R2014b, you can change the startup folder using the General Preferences options in the
Preferences Window. On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences. Select
MATLAB > General. Choose an option for the Initial working folder preference.

Alternatively on Windows platforms, specify the initial working folder in the MATLAB shortcut icon.
For more information, see “Select MATLAB Icon” on page 1-2.

userpath as Initial Working Folder

Using userpath as the Initial working folder value offers these benefits.

• You can store the MATLAB files you work with in one folder, such as Documents/MATLAB.
• You can always run your files because MATLAB automatically adds the userpath folder to the top
of the search path.
• The first time you run a new version of MATLAB, the software automatically creates the
userpath folder if it does not exist.
• When you upgrade to a newer version of MATLAB, the software automatically continues to use the
same startup folder and your existing files.
• The default userpath uses the benefits provided by the standard location in the Windows and
macOS environments for storing personal files. Files in the Documents/MATLAB folder are
available to you when you use other machines. Each user has an individual Documents/MATLAB
folder. Other users, even those using your machine, cannot access files in your Documents/
MATLAB folder.

Commonly Used Startup Options

This table lists commonly used startup options for the matlab command. For a complete list of
options, refer to the input arguments for matlab (Windows), matlab (macOS), or matlab
(Linux).

Platform Option Description

All -c license License to use, specified as the full path to a license file, a list of license
file paths, or the port@host address of a license server. Separate
multiple paths with a semicolon (Windows) or colon (Linux, macOS).

Licenses specified in the -c option override all other licenses, including

ones set in environment variables or stored in other folders. For more
details, see “MATLAB License Search Path”.
All -h or -help Display startup options (without starting MATLAB).
All -logfile Automatically write output from MATLAB to the specified log file.
"logfilename"
Windows -minimize Start MATLAB with the desktop minimized. Any desktop tools or
platforms documents that were undocked when MATLAB was last closed are not
minimized at startup.
macOS and -nojvm Start MATLAB without loading the JVM® software. This minimizes
Linux memory usage and improves initial startup speed, but restricts
platforms functionality. With nojvm, you cannot use the desktop, figures, or any
tools that require Java software.

For example, you cannot set preferences if you start MATLAB with the
-nojvm option. However, you can start MATLAB once without the -
nojvm option, set the preference, and quit MATLAB. MATLAB
remembers that preference when you start it again, even if you use the
-nojvm option.
All -nosplash Start MATLAB without displaying its splash screen.
All -batch "statement" Run the specified statement non-interactively.
All -r "statement" Run the specified statement interactively.
All -singleCompThread Limit MATLAB to a single computational thread. This option is for
numerical computations only.

On Windows systems, this option uses the multithreading capabilities of

the computer on which it is running by default.

For a complete list of options, refer to the input arguments for matlab (Windows), matlab
(macOS), or matlab (Linux).

Startup Options from Operating System Prompt

Startup options instruct MATLAB to perform certain operations when you start the program. Startup
options also are called command flags or command-line switches. When you start at the operating
system prompt, specify the options as arguments to the matlab command. For example, the following
starts MATLAB and suppresses the display of the splash screen.

matlab -nosplash

On Windows platforms, you can precede a startup option with either a hyphen (-) or a slash (/). For
example, -nosplash and /nosplash are equivalent.

Startup Options in Shortcut on Windows Systems

You can add selected startup options to the target path for your shortcut on the Windows platform for
MATLAB.

To use startup options for the MATLAB shortcut icon, follow these steps:

1 Right-click the shortcut icon for MATLAB

and select
Properties from the context menu. The Properties dialog box for MATLAB opens to the
Shortcut pane.
2 In the Target field, after the target path for "matlab.exe", add the startup option, and click
OK.

This example runs the MATLAB results script or function after startup, where results.m is in the
startup folder or on the MATLAB search path. The text in the Target field is similar to the following:

"C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2016b\bin\matlab.exe" -r "results"

Include the statement, but not the option (-r) in double quotation marks.

Use semicolons or commas to separate multiple statements. This example changes the format to
short, and then runs the MATLAB code file results:

"... matlab.exe" -r "format('short');results"

Separate multiple options with spaces. This example starts MATLAB without displaying the splash
screen, and then runs the MATLAB code file results:

1-19
1 Startup and Shutdown

"... matlab.exe" -nosplash -r "results"

Startup Options in MATLAB Startup File

The startup.m file is a file you create to specify startup options. Create the startup.m file in a
folder on the MATLAB search path. Use startup.m to modify the default search path, predefine
variables in your workspace, or define defaults for graphics objects. For example, the following
statement adds the user-defined folder /home/myname/mytools to the search path.

addpath /home/myname/mytools

To change the current folder on startup to mytools, set the Initial working folder value, located in
the General Preferences options in the Preferences window:

/home/myname/mytools

At startup, MATLAB automatically executes the matlabrc.m file and startup.m, if it exists on the
MATLAB search path. The file matlabrc.m, which is in the matlabroot/toolbox/local folder, is
reserved for use by MathWorks and by system administrators on multiuser systems. To locate the
startup.m file, type:

which startup

If MATLAB finds a startup.m file, then it displays the path to the file.

Note

MATLAB executes any file on the search path named startup that has an executable file extension.
Examples of an executable file extension are .m, .mlx, and .mlapp.

Passing Perl Variables on Startup

You can pass Perl variables to MATLAB on startup by using the -r option of the matlab function. For
example, assume a MATLAB function test that takes one input variable:

function test(x)

To pass a Perl variable instead of a constant as the input parameter, follow these steps. This command
starts MATLAB and runs test with the input argument 10.

1 Create a Perl script such as

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
$val = 10;
system('matlab -r "test(' . ${val} . ')"');
2 Invoke the Perl script at the prompt using a Perl interpreter.

For more information, see the -r option in matlab (Windows), matlab (macOS), or matlab
(Linux).

Startup and Calling Java Software from MATLAB

When MATLAB starts, it constructs the class path for Java software using javaclasspath.txt and
javalibrarypath.txt files. For more information, see “Java Class Path” and “Locate Native
Method Libraries”.

For information about memory allocation for Java objects, see “Java Heap Memory Preferences”.

Toolbox Path Caching in MATLAB

In this section...
“About Toolbox Path Caching in MATLAB” on page 1-22
“Using the Cache File Upon Startup” on page 1-22
“Updating the Cache and Cache File” on page 1-22

About Toolbox Path Caching in MATLAB

For performance reasons, MATLAB disables folder change detection for the matlabroot folder and
caches the folder information across sessions. The disabled folder change detection and caching
features are mostly transparent to you. However, if MATLAB does not see the latest versions of your
MATLAB code files or if you receive warnings about the path cache, then you might need to update
the cache.

Using the Cache File Upon Startup

Upon startup, MATLAB gets information from a cache file to build the matlabroot folder cache.
Because of the cache file, startup is faster, especially if you run MATLAB from a network server or if
you have many folders within the matlabroot folder. When you end a session, MATLAB updates the
cache file.

MATLAB does not use the cache file at startup if you clear the Enable toolbox path cache check
box in General Preferences page of the Preferences Window. Instead, it creates the cache by
reading from the operating system folders, which is slower than using the cache file.

Updating the Cache and Cache File

How the Toolbox Path Cache Works

MATLAB caches (essentially, stores in a known files list) the names and locations of files in the
matlabroot folder. This folder is for files provided with MathWorks products that should not change
except for product installations and updates. Caching those folders provides better performance
during a session because MATLAB does not actively monitor those folders.

We strongly recommend that you save any MATLAB code files you create and any files provided by
MathWorks that you edit in a folder that is not in the matlabroot folder tree. If you keep your files
in the matlabroot folder, then they might be overwritten when you install a new version of MATLAB.

When to Update the Cache

When you add files to the matlabroot folder, the cache and the cache file need to be updated.
MATLAB updates the cache and cache file automatically when you install toolboxes or toolbox
updates using the installer for MATLAB. MATLAB also updates the cache and cache file automatically
when you use MATLAB tools, such as when you save files from the MATLAB Editor to the
matlabroot folder.

When you add or remove files in the matlabroot folder by some other means, MATLAB might not
recognize those changes. For example, when you:

1-22
 Toolbox Path Caching in MATLAB

• Save new files in the matlabroot folder using an external editor

• Use operating system features and commands to add or remove files in the matlabroot folder

and then attempt to use one of the new files, MATLAB displays this message:

Undefined function or variable

Update the cache so MATLAB recognizes the changes you made in the matlabroot folder.

Steps to Update the Cache

To update the cache and the cache file,

1 On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences. Select MATLAB >
General.
2 Click Update Toolbox Path Cache and click OK.

Function Alternative

To update the cache, use rehash toolbox. To update both the cache and the cache file, use rehash
toolboxcache. For more information, see rehash.

Change Syntax Highlighting Colors

MATLAB conveys syntax information in code using different colors. This feature, known as syntax
highlighting, helps you to identify syntax elements, such as if/then/else statements, at a glance.
Syntax highlighting appears in code files, in code you enter in the Command Window, and in error
and warning messages. It does not appear in other kinds of output.

To change the colors used for syntax highlighting in MATLAB code:

1 On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences.
2 Select MATLAB > Colors.

In MATLAB Online, select MATLAB > Appearance > Colors.

3 In the MATLAB syntax highlighting colors section, use the Keywords, Comments, Strings,
Unterminated strings, System commands, Syntax errors, and Validation sections fields to
change the colors. For example, select magenta for the strings color and purple for the
unterminated strings color.

The Syntax highlighting sample area shows a preview of the selected colors.

To restore the default syntax highlighting colors, click the Restore Default Colors button at the
bottom of the Preferences window.

To disable syntax highlighting, in the Preferences window, select MATLAB > Editor/Debugger >
Language. Then, in the Syntax highlighting section, clear the Enable syntax highlighting check
box. In MATLAB Online, this option is located under MATLAB > Editor/Debugger > MATLAB
Language.

The Editor also provides syntax highlighting for other languages. To change the syntax highlighting
colors for other languages, in the MATLAB > Editor/Debugger > Language Preferences window,
select a language in the Language field. Then, change the colors for that language. To disable syntax
highlighting for the language, clear the Enable syntax highlighting check box. In MATLAB Online,
these options are located under MATLAB > Editor/Debugger > Other Languages.

3 Use the Text and Background fields to change the colors. For example, select white for the text
color and black for the background color.

The Syntax Highlighting sample and Command Window sample areas show a preview of the
selected colors.

To restore the default text and background colors, click the Restore Default Colors button at the
bottom of the Preferences window.

In MATLAB Online, you also can use themes to change the colors of the MATLAB desktop.

To select a theme:

1 In the Command Window, type preferences Appearance to open the Preferences window
with the MATLAB Appearances Preferences page selected.
2 Select a MATLAB Theme. For example, select a dark theme.

For more information about the different ways to change the desktop colors in MATLAB, see “Change
Desktop Colors” on page 2-7.

Increase Clarity of Plots

You can increase the clarity of plots in MATLAB by changing the color and size of markers, lines, and
text within the plots. To change the color and size of markers, lines, and text, modify the properties of
the plot. The list of properties for a plot depends on the object type it creates. For more information,
see the documentation for the plot function you are using. You also can use the colororder function
to change the color palette used for the markers and lines within the plots.

For example, create a plot with three lines.

p = plot([1 2 3; 4 5 6],'LineWidth',2)
title("Three Colored Lines")
legend("Line 1","Line 2", "Line 3")

2-26
 Accessibility in MATLAB

Enhance the distinction between the three lines using the LineWidth, Marker, MarkerEdgeColor,
and MarkerSize properties. For more information, see Line Properties.
p(1).LineWidth = 2;
p(1).Marker = "*";
p(1).MarkerEdgeColor = "b";
p(1).MarkerSize = 8;

p(2).LineWidth = 3;
p(2).Marker = "diamond";

p(3).LineWidth = 4;

2-27
2 Desktop

To change the font size for objects in a plot, you can use the fontsize function. For example,
increase the font size of the title, legend, and axes labels in the plot until they are more easily
readable.

fontsize(gcf,"increase")
fontsize(gcf,"increase")
fontsize(gcf,"increase")

To improve the contrast of lines and markers within a plot, you can use the colororder function and
specify the "dye" color palette. The colors on the "dye" palette meet international contrast ratio
standards for enhanced accessibility against a white background. For example, specify the "dye"
color palette for the plot.

colororder("dye");

 Accessibility in MATLAB

Convert Data to Sound Using Sonification

You can convert data to sound using the sonify function. For example, convert a vector of sine
values to sound and return the sonified data s and sample rate Fs.

y = sin(1:10);
[s,Fs] = sonify(y);

You can use the sonified data with the audioplayer function to play, pause, resume, and stop the
sound. You also can write the sonified data to a WAV file using the audiowrite function.

Screen Reader Tips

Reduce Blank Lines in Output

To improve the screen reader experience when working in the Command Window, suppress excess
blank lines in output for the current session using the format command.

format compact;

To maintain the compact format across all future sessions, use settings to set the personal value for
line spacing in output display.

s = settings;
s.matlab.commandwindow.DisplayLineSpacing.PersonalValue = "compact";

Modifying Graphics Objects

When working with graphics objects, view and modify properties programmatically or use the
Property Inspector. For example, the plot function returns a chart line object. You can use dot
notation to view and set properties.

p = plot(1:10,1:10);
p.LineWidth = 3;

Alternatively, you can set properties using name-value arguments when creating the object, such as
plot(1:10,1:10,"LineWidth",3).

For more information about viewing and modifying graphics object properties, see “Modify Graphics
Objects”.

Accessing MathWorks Documentation

For the best experience when viewing and searching the documentation using a screen reader, open
it in a separate browser tab or window at https://www.mathworks.com/help/.

Using MATLAB with -nodesktop Option

If you run MATLAB without the desktop using the -nodesktop startup option, these tips can help
improve your screen reader experience:

• Use the format function to suppress excess blank lines in output, making it easier to navigate
diary files. For more information, see “Reduce Blank Lines in Output” on page 2-35.

2-35
2 Desktop

• Include a filename when calling the diary function to save the Command Window text to a
separate file. You can call the diary function multiple times during a MATLAB session with
different filenames to save different sets of text to different files.

For a more accessible alternative to using MATLAB with the -nodesktop option, use the Command
Window Only layout in MATLAB Online instead. Using the Command Window Only layout in MATLAB
Online gives you access to more keyboard shortcuts and the full functionality of the MATLAB desktop.
To select the Command Window Only layout in MATLAB Online, go to the Home tab, and in the

 Customize Keyboard Shortcuts

Customize Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are useful for accessing desktop features quickly. To optimize your experience,
you can customize the current set of keyboard shortcuts in MATLAB.

There are several ways you can modify the current set of keyboard shortcuts. You can:

• Create new keyboard shortcuts or modify existing ones.

• Choose among available sets of keyboard shortcuts.
• Create customized sets of keyboard shortcuts or use existing customized sets.

To view or modify the current set of keyboard shortcuts, use the Keyboard Shortcuts Preferences
options in the Preferences Window. To open the Keyboard Shortcuts Preferences page in the
Preferences Window, go to the Home tab, and in the Environment section, click Preferences.
Then, select MATLAB > Keyboard > Shortcuts.

View Keyboard Shortcuts

For actions performed with a menu item, keyboard shortcuts appear in the menu itself. This is true
whether the menu item is in the toolstrip or in a context menu. If a menu item does not display a
keyboard shortcut, then a keyboard shortcut for the action does not exist.

For actions that are not performed with a menu item, to find keyboard shortcuts, open the Keyboard
Shortcuts Preferences page in the Preferences Window. Then, in the search box, enter the name of
the tool or action for which you want to see the keyboard shortcuts. For example, type Editor
clear to find the keyboard shortcut for clearing selected text in the Editor.

To view the shortcuts for an action, select the action name. For example, select Clear Selection.
MATLAB displays the keyboard shortcuts for the selected action. For example, the keyboard shortcut
for the Clear Selection action in the Editor is the Escape key.

2-45
2 Desktop

Create a List of All Keyboard Shortcuts in a Set

You can create a list of all the keyboard shortcuts in the current set by copying them to the clipboard
and pasting them in a text file or spreadsheet application, such as Microsoft Excel®. For the best
formatting, use a spreadsheet application. To copy all the keyboard shortcuts, open the Keyboard
Shortcuts Preferences page in the Preferences Window. Click the Actions button and from the
drop-down menu, choose Copy to Clipboard. Paste the data into the desired application.

Customize Keyboard Shortcuts for Individual Actions

Customizing a keyboard shortcut is useful if you frequently perform an action and the action does not
have a keyboard shortcut defined, or if the defined keyboard shortcut is hard to use or conflicts with a
different shortcut. For an overview on customizing keyboard shortcuts, watch the Customizable
Keyboard Shortcuts video. You must have an internet connection to watch the video.

To customize a keyboard shortcut:

1 Open the Keyboard Shortcuts Preferences page in the Preferences Window and, in the search
box, type an existing keyboard shortcut or the name of an action, tool, or menu.

For example, you can type Ctrl+R (shortcut), Delete (action), Command Window (tool), or File
(menu).

You can enter most keyboard shortcuts by either pressing keystrokes or typing the key names. If
using keystrokes for a keyboard shortcut does not work, try typing the key names instead. For
example, if pressing the Ctrl key and then R does not work, try typing the text Ctrl+R.

MATLAB displays the list of matching actions for which you can customize or define a keyboard
shortcut. If you specify the name of a tool, MATLAB displays actions associated with the tool or
menu, as well as any action names that contain the specified text.
2 Select the name of the action for which you want to define or modify a keyboard shortcut.
3
Click the Add button .

An editable text box opens in the Shortcut column.

2-46
 Customize Keyboard Shortcuts

4 Specify the keystrokes you want to use for the keyboard shortcut.

A keystroke can be a single key or the combination of a modifier (Alt, Shift, or Ctrl) and another
key. Specify a keystroke by performing it, not by typing the names of the keys character by
character. For example, press the Ctrl key and the Y key. Do not type C-t-r-l-+-Y.

Alternatively, you can choose a shortcut from the drop-down menu.

To specify multiple keystrokes for one action, or to limit the number of keystrokes for an action,
click the down arrow next to the key icon in the Shortcuts box. Then, select either Limit to
1 keystroke, Limit to 2 keystrokes, or Limit to 3 keystrokes. For example, to
specify Ctrl+Y, Shift+Z, F9 as the three keystrokes for an action, select Limit to 3
keystrokes and then type the keystrokes.
5 In the Tools with shortcut column, click the down arrow and select which tools you want to
assign the keyboard shortcut to.

6 Evaluate and resolve any conflicts, indicated by the error icon and informational icon . The
error icon indicates that two different actions within the same tool have the same shortcut.
The informational icon indicates that two different actions in two different tools have the same
shortcut.

There is no requirement to resolve keyboard shortcut conflicts. However, if the same shortcut
specifies two different actions, the shortcuts can be confusing to use. Resolving all conflicts
indicated by the error icon is recommended, although in some situations, resolving a conflict
might be unnecessary. For example, resolving the conflict might be unnecessary if the conflict is
temporary or the two actions are associated with different modes of the same tool. Resolving
conflicts indicated by the informational icon is recommended if you use both tools frequently
and you perform both actions frequently.

To resolve a conflict, change or delete shortcuts such that there is a one-to-one correspondence
between shortcuts and frequently used actions.
7 Click OK or Apply.

New or modified keyboard shortcuts become available immediately. Changed shortcuts that
correspond to menu items immediately appear in the menu.

To delete a keyboard shortcut for a selected action, select the keyboard shortcut that you want to
delete and click the Delete button .

2-47
2 Desktop

Restore Default Keyboard Shortcut Sets

If you modify keyboard shortcuts, and then decide you do not want to keep the changes, you can
restore the default shortcuts. To restore the default state of a keyboard shortcut, click the Actions
button and select Undo Modifications to <Set Name> Default Set (modified), where <Set
Name> is the name of the modified default set.

Note Undoing modifications reverts all keyboard shortcuts changes that you made to the set. You
cannot undo modifications on a shortcut-by-shortcut basis.

Restrictions When Customizing Keyboard Shortcuts

There are some actions and tools for which you cannot change the keyboard shortcuts. Actions for
which the keyboard shortcut cannot be customized do not appear when you search for them in the
Keyboard Shortcuts Preferences page in the Preferences Window. Examples of these actions
include canceling the current action (Esc), interrupting MATLAB execution (Ctrl+C), and some of the
navigational actions described in “Use Keyboard Shortcuts to Navigate MATLAB” on page 2-30.

In addition, you cannot change the keyboard shortcuts associated with these tools or portions of
tools:

• Figure windows — For example, you cannot modify the keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+S, for saving a
MATLAB .fig file.
• Toolboxes — For example, you cannot modify keyboard shortcuts in the SimBiology® desktop.
• Incremental search — You can modify the keyboard shortcuts for initiating a forward or backward
incremental search. However, you cannot change the keyboard shortcuts that you use within
incremental search mode, such as Ctrl+Shift+S to search forward.
• Dialog boxes — For example, you cannot create a keyboard shortcut for the OK button.

Manage Sets of Keyboard Shortcuts

Select Set of Keyboard Shortcuts

By default, MATLAB uses the keyboard shortcut settings for your current platform. To select a
different set of keyboard shortcuts, open the Keyboard Shortcuts Preferences page in the
Preferences Window and, in Active settings, select from the available options. To use a keyboard
shortcut settings file that is on your system but not in the Active settings list, select Browse... to
find and select the desired file.

This table lists the keyboard shortcut settings files installed with MATLAB.

Operating Keyboard Shortcut Settings Files Installed with MATLAB

System
Windows • Windows Default Set (Default)
• Emacs Default Set
Linux • Emacs Default Set (Default)
• Windows Default Set
macOS • Macintosh Default Set (Default)

2-48
 Customize Keyboard Shortcuts

You also can download keyboard shortcut settings files from File Exchange. For example, to restore
the MATLAB default keyboard shortcuts that were in place for MATLAB Version 7.9 (R2009a) and
earlier releases, go to File Exchange and search for MATLAB Desktop R2009a Default
Keyboard Shortcut sets. Download and extract the set and then select it as the active settings
file. A valid keyboard shortcut settings file appears with a keyboard key icon .

Compare Sets of Keyboard Shortcuts

To compare the current set of keyboard shortcuts to another set:

1 Open the Keyboard Shortcuts Preferences page in the Preferences Window and click the
Actions button .
2 From the drop-down menu, choose the set of keyboard shortcuts to which you want to compare
the current set.
3 The Comparison Tool opens and displays the two keyboard shortcut sets side-by-side. For more
information about how to read the results, see “Compare Text Files” on page 6-11.

Save Set of Keyboard Shortcuts to File

Saving a set of keyboard shortcuts to a settings file is useful if you want to:

• Save the changes you make to a default keyboard shortcut set to a new set.
• Use a set of customized keyboard shortcuts on another system running MATLAB.
• Overwrite a previously saved set of keyboard shortcuts.
• Share a set of keyboard shortcuts with others, for example, on File Exchange.

To save a keyboard shortcut settings file, open the Keyboard Shortcuts Preferences page in the
Preferences Window. Then, click the Actions button and select Save As. MATLAB saves the file
as an .xml file in the folder that you specify.

You cannot overwrite the default settings files that install with MATLAB. MATLAB saves modifications
that you make to a default set using the name of the default set appended with the text (modified),
for instance, Windows default (modified).

Delete Set of Keyboard Shortcuts

To delete a previously saved set of keyboard shortcuts, open the Keyboard Shortcuts Preferences
page in the Preferences Window and in Active settings, select the set of keyboard shortcuts that you
want to delete. Click the Actions button and select Delete filename, where filename is the
name of a keyboard shortcut set you want to delete. You cannot delete default keyboard shortcut sets,
such as Windows Default Set.

the notification but decide not to install the update, the notification is cleared; however, you can still
install the update at a later time.

Check for Updates

Since R2016b

You also can check for updates manually. You must have an active internet connection to check for
and update your installation.

On the Home tab, click Help > Check for Updates. The Add-On Manager opens with the Updates
tab selected. If there is an update available for your version of MATLAB, click the Update button to
the right of the update name to install it. If there is no update available for your version or if you have
already installed the latest update, MATLAB displays that information.

In R2019a: On the Home tab, click Help > Check for Updates > Products. If there is an update
available, click Install Update.

Before R2019a: On the Home tab, click Add-Ons > Check for Updates > Products.

Mouse Instructions and macOS Platforms

The documentation typically presents conventions for Microsoft Windows platforms. Therefore, some
conventions and operations differ on the macOS platform from those that appear in the rest of the
documentation. The intended action for the macOS platform is typically obvious. Mouse operations
follow macOS conventions.

Make the following replacements to adjust documented mouse instructions for Macintosh platforms if
you are using a one-button mouse:

• Replace right-click with Ctrl+click

• Replace middle-click with Command+click

Navigating Within the MATLAB Root Folder on macOS Platforms

On macOS platforms, MATLAB is installed as an application bundle. The root folder, the string
returned by the matlabroot command, has a .app extension.

To view the contents of the MATLAB root folder in the Mac Finder, right-click the MATLAB
application bundle, and then select Show Package Contents from the context menu.

To view the content of the MATLAB root folder from within MATLAB:

1
On the Home tab, in the File section, click .
2 In the File Browser dialog box, press Command+Shift+G to open the Go To Folder dialog box.
3 Enter the full path to a folder within the MATLAB application package, for example, /
Applications/MATLAB_R2019a.app/bin.
4 Press Go.

To open a file with a MATLAB command, such as edit, specify the full path of the MATLAB root
folder. For example:

edit(fullfile(matlabroot,'/toolbox/matlab/demos/lotka.m'))

MATLAB Dock Menu

Starting in MATLAB R2012a, the MATLAB Dock menu lists open windows and documents associated
with the running MATLAB. Choosing an open document from the Dock menu brings the selected
document's window to the foreground. In addition, the MATLAB Dock menu includes the item Open
Additional Instance of MATLAB. This option starts another instance of MATLAB. You can select
Options > Keep in Dock, but only for the first MATLAB instance. Use Open Additional Instance

of MATLAB to start additional instances rather than trying to keep multiple MATLAB icons in the
Dock.

 Where MATLAB Stores Preferences

Where MATLAB Stores Preferences

MATLAB and other MathWorks products store their preferences in the preferences folder. To see the
full path for the preferences folder type prefdir in the MATLAB Command Window. The name of the
preferences folder matches the name of the release. For instance, for release R2016b, the name of
the preferences folder is R2016b.

On macOS and iOS, the preferences folder might be inside another folder that is hidden. If so, to
access the hidden folder:

1 In the Finder, select Go > Go to Folder.

2 In the resulting dialog box, type the path returned by prefdir, and then press Enter.

You must have write access to the preferences folder. Otherwise, MATLAB generates an error in the
Command Window when you try to change preferences. MATLAB also can generate an error if the
preferences folder is hidden.

The default location of the preferences folder is platform specific:

• Windows— C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\release
• Linux — ~/.matlab/release
• macOS — ~/Library/Application Support/MathWorks/MATLAB/release

release is the current MATLAB release.

Temporary Preferences Folder

In some situations, if MATLAB is unable to create or use the preferences folder when starting up, it
creates a temporary preferences folder. If a preferences folder exists for any of the three releases of
MATLAB that immediately precede the one you are starting up, MATLAB copies the preference files
from that release to the temporary preferences folder. Otherwise, MATLAB creates the default
preference files for the current release. MATLAB continues to use the temporary preferences folder
until the issue is resolved.

If you make changes to preferences while MATLAB is using the temporary preferences folder, the
preferences persist across sessions. But, once the issue is resolved that was preventing MATLAB from
accessing the preferences folder, any changes made to the preferences while using the temporary
preferences folder are lost.

Each version of MATLAB can have a temporary preferences folder. MATLAB does not migrate
preferences from the temporary preferences folder across releases.

Effects of Installation and Deinstallation on the Preferences Folder

Installing MATLAB has no effect on the preferences folder. That is, MATLAB creates, checks, copies,
and writes to the preferences folder when it starts up, not when you install it. When you uninstall
MATLAB, there is an option in the uninstaller to remove the preferences folder. However, this option
is not selected by default.

 Import Preferences from Other Releases

Import Preferences from Other Releases

When you start a newly installed version of MATLAB for the first time, it attempts to import your
preferences from a previous release installed on your system. MATLAB looks for preferences folders
according to these guidelines.

• MATLAB looks for a preferences folder for release R2019b or newer. If MATLAB finds one or more
preferences folders matching that criteria, it migrates the files from the most recent version.

For example, if you start R2021b and preferences folders exist for both the R2020b and R2019b
releases, then MATLAB migrates the files from the R2020b preferences folder to the R2021b
preferences folder.

Note For releases before R2021b, MATLAB looks back three releases. For example, if you start
R2019a, MATLAB looks for preferences from R2018b, R2018a, and R2017b.
• If a preferences folder does not exist from a valid previous release, then MATLAB creates the
default preference files for the release starting up.

For example, if you start R2021a, MATLAB looks for preferences for versions R2020b, R2020a,
and R2019b. If none of those is installed, MATLAB creates the default files for the R2021a release.
This is true even if a preferences folder exists for the R2019a release or earlier.
• If you install a release older than the current version, MATLAB does not import preferences from
releases that are newer than that release.

To see the full path for the preferences folder, type prefdir in the MATLAB Command Window. The
name of the preferences folder matches the name of the release you are running. For example, for
MATLAB R2021a, the name of the preferences folder is R2021a.
prefdir

ans =
'C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2021a'

On macOS and iOS, the preferences folder might be inside another folder that is hidden. If so, to
access the hidden folder:
1 In the Finder, select Go > Go to Folder.
2 In the resulting dialog box, type the path returned by prefdir, and then press Enter.

Use Default Preferences

Instead of importing preferences from a previous release, you can use the default preferences for the
new release. To use the default preferences, delete all of the files in the preferences folder for the
corresponding release. Use the prefdir command to determine the full path of the preferences
folder.

For example, to use the default preferences for R2021a, start MATLAB, and in the Command Window,
type prefdir to determine the location of the preferences folder.
prefdir

ans =
'C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2021a'

2-65
2 Desktop

Close MATLAB, delete all of the files in the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming

\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2021a, and then start MATLAB again. MATLAB starts with all preferences
set to their default values. One file to consider keeping is history.m. For more information, see “Set
Command History Preferences” on page 3-24.

Alternatively, if you have not started the new release yet, create an empty preferences folder for it.
This will prevent MATLAB from importing preferences when you do open the new release, and force
it to use the default preferences instead. For example, to use the default preferences for MATLAB
R2021a, if your MATLAB preferences are stored in the C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming
\MathWorks\MATLAB folder, create the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming
\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2021a.

Enter Statements in Command Window

As you work in MATLAB, you can enter individual statements in the Command Window. For example,
create a variable named a by typing this statement at the command line:

a = 1

MATLAB immediately adds variable a to the workspace and displays the result in the Command
Window.

a =

When you do not specify an output variable, MATLAB uses the variable ans, short for answer, to
store the results of your calculation.

sin(a)

ans =

0.8415

The value of ans changes with every command that returns an output value that is not assigned to a
variable.

If you end a statement with a semicolon, MATLAB performs the computation, but suppresses the
display of output in the Command Window.

b = 2;

To enter multiple statements on multiple lines before running any of the statements, use Shift+Enter
between statements. This action is unnecessary when you enter a paired keyword statement on
multiple lines, such as for and end.

You also can enter more than one statement on the same line by separating statements. To distinguish
between commands, end each one with a comma or semicolon. Commands that end with a comma
display their results, while commands that end with a semicolon do not. For example, enter the
following three statements at the command line:

A = magic(5), B = ones(5) * 4.7; C = A./B

A =
17 24 1 8 15
23 5 7 14 16
4 6 13 20 22
10 12 19 21 3
11 18 25 2 9

 Enter Statements in Command Window

MATLAB displays only the values of A and C in the Command Window.

To recall previous lines in the Command Window, press the up- and down-arrow keys, ↑ and ↓. Press
the arrow keys either at an empty command line or after you type the first few characters of a
command. For example, to recall the command b = 2, type b, and then press the up-arrow key.

To clear a command from the Command Window without executing it, press the Escape (Esc) key.

You can evaluate any statement already in the Command Window. Select the statement, right-click,
and then select Evaluate Selection.

In the Command Window, you also can execute only a portion of the code currently at the command
prompt. To evaluate a portion of the entered code, select the code, and then press Enter.

For example, select a portion of the following code:

Find Functions to Use

This example shows how to find the name and description of a MathWorks function from the
Command Window using the Function browser.

1
In the Command Window, click the Browse for functions button to the left of the prompt. The
Function browser opens.

Tip The Function browser closes when you move the pointer outside of it. To keep the browser
open, drag it by the top edge to a different location.
2 Optionally, select a subset of products to display in the list. Click the product area at the bottom
of the browser (where the text All installed products appears by default), and then set the
Selected Products preference and click OK.
3 Find functions by browsing the list or by typing a search term. For example, search for the term
fourier.

3-4
 Find Functions to Use

In the search results, a parenthetical term after a function name indicates either that the
function is in a product folder other than MATLAB, or that there are multiple functions with the
same name. For example, fft (comm) corresponds to the fft function in the Communications
Toolbox™ folder.
4 Select a function that you would like to use or learn more about, as follows.

• Insert the function name into the current window by double-clicking the name. Alternatively,
drag and drop the function name into any tool or application.
• View syntax information for the function by single-clicking its name. A brief description for
each of the syntax options displays in a yellow pop-up window.

Tip The pop-up window automatically closes when you move your pointer to a new item in the
results list. To keep the pop-up window open, drag it by the top edge to a different location.

You can change the font that the Function browser uses by setting preferences. On the Home tab, in
the Environment section, select Preferences > Fonts. By default, the Function browser uses the
desktop text font and the pop-up window uses the Profiler font.

Format Output
MATLAB displays output in both the Command Window and the Live Editor. You can format the
output display using several provided options.

Format Line Spacing in Output

By default, MATLAB displays blanks lines in Command Window output.

You can select one of two line spacing options in MATLAB.

• loose — Keeps the display of blank lines (default).

>> x = [4/3 1.2345e-6]

x =

1.3333 0.0000
• compact — Suppresses the display of blank lines.

>> x = [4/3 1.2345e-6]

x =
1.3333 0.0000

To change the line spacing option, do one of the following:

• On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences. Select MATLAB >
Command Window, and then choose a Line spacing option.
• Use the format function at the command line, for example:

format loose
format compact

Note Line spacing options do not apply in the Live Editor.

Format Floating-Point Numbers

You can change the way numbers display in both the Command Window and the Live Editor. By
default, MATLAB uses the short format (5-digit scaled, fixed-point values).

For example, suppose that you enter x = [4/3 1.2345e-6] in the Command Window. The MATLAB
output display depends on the format you selected. This table shows some of the available numeric
display formats, and their corresponding output.

Numeric Display Format Example Output

short (default) x = 1.3333 0.0000
short e x = 1.3333e+00 1.2345e-06
long x = 1.333333333333333 0.000001234500000
+ x = ++

3-6
 Format Output

Note The text display format affects only how numbers are shown, not how MATLAB computes, or
saves them.

To format the way numbers display, do one of the following:

• On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences. Select MATLAB >
Command Window, and then choose a Numeric format option.
• Use the format function, for example:

format short
format short e
format long

See the format reference page for a list and description of all supported numeric formats.

Wrap Lines of Code to Fit Window Width

A line of code or its output can exceed the width of the Command Window, requiring you to use the
horizontal scroll bar to view the entire line. To break a single line of input or output into multiple
lines to fit within the current width of the Command Window:

1 On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences. Select MATLAB >
Command Window.
2 Select Wrap Lines.
3 Click OK.

Note Line wrapping options do not apply in the Live Editor.

Suppress Output
To suppress code output, add a semicolon (;) to the end of a command. This is useful when code
generates large matrices.

Running the following code creates A, but does not show the resulting matrix in the Command
Window or the Live Editor:

A = magic(100);

View Output by Page

Output in the Command Window might exceed the visible portion of the window. You can view the
output, one screen at a time:

1 In the Command Window, type more on to enable paged output.

2 Type the command that generates large output.
3 View the output:

• Advance to the next line by pressing Enter.

• Advance to the next page by pressing Space Bar.

• Stop displaying the output by pressing q.

To disable paged output, type more off.

Note Paged output options do not apply in the Live Editor.

Clear the Command Window

If the Command Window seems cluttered, you can clear all the text (without clearing the workspace)
by doing one of the following:

• On the Home tab, in the Code section, select Clear Commands > Command Window to clear
the Command Window scroll buffer.
• Use the clc function to clear the Command Window scroll buffer.
• Use the home function to clear your current view of the Command Window, without clearing the
scroll buffer.

 Stop Execution

Stop Execution
To stop execution of a MATLAB command, press Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Break.

On Apple Macintosh platforms, you also can use Command+. (the Command key and the period
key).

Ctrl+C does not always stop execution for files that run a long time, or that call built-ins or MEX-files
that run a long time. If you experience this problem, include a drawnow, pause, or getframe
function in your file, for example, within a large loop. Also, Ctrl+C might be less responsive if you
start MATLAB with the -nodesktop option.

Note For certain operations, stopping the program might generate errors in the Command Window.

To programmatically stop execution of a function or script before reaching the end, use the return
function. MATLAB returns control to the Command Window or the invoking function.

Find Text in the Command Window

You can search text currently in the Command Window. This includes text that is visible on the
screen, and text that is in the scroll buffer. In MATLAB Online, to search text in the Command
Window, use the Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut to open the find and replace dialog box.

Search Using Find Dialog Box

To search for specified text in the Command Window, on the Command Window title bar, click the
action button , and then select Find. The Find dialog box opens. The search begins at the current
cursor position. MATLAB finds the text you specified and highlights it.

MATLAB beeps when a search for Find Next reaches the end of the Command Window, or when a
search for Find Previous reaches the top of the Command Window. If you have Wrap around
selected, MATLAB continues searching after beeping.

To search for the specified text in other MATLAB desktop tools, change the selection in the Look in
field.

You can increase the amount of information available in the Command Window so that more text is
available for searching. Doing so requires more memory. On the Home tab, in the Environment
section, click Preferences. Select MATLAB > Command Window, and then increase the setting
for Number of lines in the command window scroll buffer.

Clearing the command window (for example, with the clc function), empties the scroll buffer. The
cleared text is no longer available for searching. To clear your display in the Command Window
without clearing the buffer, use the home function.

Search Using Keyboard Shortcuts

You can also perform an incremental search in the Command Window using keyboard shortcuts.

1 Begin an incremental search by using one of the defined keyboard shortcuts.

Action Windows Default Macintosh or Emacs Default

Shortcut Shortcut
Initiate a forward Ctrl+Shift+S Ctrl+S

An incremental search field appears in the bottom right corner of the MATLAB Desktop window.
For a forward search, the text F Inc Search appears. The F indicates a forward search.

3-10
 Find Text in Command Window or History

2 Begin typing your search term.

When you enter lowercase letters in the incremental search field, MATLAB looks for both
lowercase and uppercase instances of the letters. For example, if you enter b, MATLAB looks for
b and B. However, if you enter uppercase letters, MATLAB only looks for instances that match the
case you entered.
3 Perform incremental search actions using these keyboard shortcuts:

Action Keyboard Shortcut

Complete a partially highlighted set of characters. Ctrl+W
Find the next occurrence of a set of characters. Ctrl+S
Remove characters from the incremental search Ctrl+G
field, back to the last successful search

If you search for a set of characters that does not appear in the Command Window text, Failing
appears in the incremental search field.
4 End incremental searching by pressing Esc (escape), Enter, or any other key that is not a
character or number.

The incremental search field disappears. The cursor remains at the position where the text was
last found, with the search text highlighted.

Find Text in the Command History Window

You can search for text in the Command History Window. You can search for text either at the
beginning of a command, or anywhere within a command.

1 In the Command History window, type in the Search field. To display the Search field if it is not
visible, click the action button , and then select Find.

2 Begin typing your search term.

The Command History window searches backward and selects the previous entry that contains
the sequence of letters you typed.
3 Select from the different search options using the buttons to the right of the search field. Options
include Match case

Check Syntax and Autocomplete Code as You Type

You can avoid syntax errors using syntax highlighting and delimiter matching. You also can write
commands faster and autocomplete code using code suggestions and completions.

Syntax Highlighting
To help you identify MATLAB elements, some entries appear in different colors in the Command
Window, the Editor, and the Live Editor. This color display is known as syntax highlighting. By default:

• Keywords are blue.

• Character vectors and strings are purple.
• Unterminated character vectors are maroon.
• Comments are green.

% check to see if A is greater than B

if A > B
"greater"
elseif A < B
"less"
end

Except for errors, output in the Command Window does not appear with syntax highlighting.

MATLAB software copies the selection to the clipboard in RTF format, which many Microsoft
Windows and macOS applications support. When you paste or drag a selection from the Editor and
Live Editor to another application, such as Microsoft Word, the pasted text maintains the syntax
highlighting colors and font characteristics from the Editor and Live Editor.

To change syntax highlighting preferences, on the Home tab, in the Environment section, click
Preferences. Then, select MATLAB > Editor/Debugger > Language and from the Language
drop-down list, choose a language. To change syntax highlighting preferences in MATLAB Online,
select Editor/Debugger > MATLAB Language or Editor/Debugger > Other Languages.

Delimiter Matching

MATLAB indicates matched and mismatched delimiters, such as parentheses, brackets, and braces, to
help you avoid syntax errors. MATLAB also indicates paired language keywords, such as for, if,
while, else, and end statements.

In the Editor and Live Editor, MATLAB indicates matching delimiters by briefly underlining both
delimiters in the pair. In the Command Window, matching delimiters are indicated by highlighting
instead of underlining. In MATLAB Online, the Command Window behavior matches the Editor and
Live Editor behavior.

MATLAB indicates mismatching delimiters in the Editor, Live Editor, and Command Window by briefly
crossing out the mismatched delimiter.

If a matching delimiter exists, but it is not visible on the screen, a window opens and displays the line
containing the matching delimiter. Click in the window to go to that line.

You can change if and when MATLAB alerts you to matched and mismatched delimiters. On the
Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences. Select MATLAB > Keyboard and in
the Delimiter matching section, select from the available options.

Code Suggestions and Completions

When you write code in the Command Window, Editor, Live Editor, and App Designer, MATLAB shows
suggestions for the names of functions, models, MATLAB objects, files, folders, variables, structures,
graphics properties, parameters, and options. In addition, MATLAB shows basic syntax information
for functions. You can use these suggestions to write commands faster and avoid typographical
errors.

Name Suggestions

In the Editor, Live Editor, and App Designer, name suggestions appear as you type. You also can press
Ctrl+Space or the Tab key to show suggestions. MATLAB shows the most relevant name suggestions
as you type. To show new and more refined suggestions, continue typing. If there are no name
suggestions, MATLAB displays No suggestions.

To insert a suggestion in your code, use the arrow keys to select the name that you want, and then
press the Right Arrow, Tab, or Enter key to accept the suggestion. To clear the list of suggestions
without selecting anything, press the Esc key.

In the Command Window, name suggestions appear only after you press the Tab key. To show
suggestions, type the first few characters of the name that you want suggestions for, and then press
the Tab key. Use the arrow keys to select the name that you want, and then press the Tab key again
to accept the suggestion. In MATLAB Online, the Command Window also shows suggestions as you
type and when you press Ctrl+Space or the Tab key.

Name suggestions are useful when completing the names and values of graphics properties. For
example, plot(x,y,"LineStyle","-").

3-20
 Check Syntax and Autocomplete Code as You Type

You also can use suggestions to complete parameter names and options for certain functions. For
example, format("shortEng").

MATLAB displays suggestions based on its current state, including:

• Variables that are defined in the current workspace

• Files and folders that are on the search path or in the current folder
• Variables, functions, class properties, and class methods that are defined in the active document
and available at the current location of the cursor

MATLAB does not complete field names of structure arrays defined only within the active document.

Tip To insert a tab within a statement when suggestions and completions are enabled in the Editor,
Live Editor, and App Designer, first, add a space. Then, press the Tab key. Alternatively, go to the
Home tab, and in the Environment section, click Preferences. Select MATLAB > Editor/
Debugger > Automatic Completions and in the Suggestions and completions section, clear the
Use tab to show suggestions (in addition to ctrl+space) option. If there are no available
completions, MATLAB always inserts a tab.

In the Command Window, to insert a tab, you must disable showing name suggestions on tab. To
disable showing name suggestions, in the Preferences window, select MATLAB > Command
Window > Automatic Completions and clear the Enable tab completion option. In the MATLAB
Online Command Window, clear the Use tab to show suggestions (in addition to ctrl+space)

Function Syntax Suggestions

When you type the name of a function followed by an opening parenthesis, MATLAB shows the basic
syntax information for the function. In the Editor, Live Editor, App Designer, and MATLAB Online
Command Window, if a function has multiple syntaxes, you can use the drop-down arrow to the right
of the syntax to show all available syntaxes. Alternatively, use Ctrl+Down Arrow to show and hide
the additional syntaxes. On macOS systems, use the Command key instead of Ctrl.

You can type an input for any argument that appears in blue. Enter your own input variables or
values, and not the argument names shown in the suggestion. The displayed syntax options change
based on the arguments you enter.

In the Editor, Live Editor, App Designer, and MATLAB Online Command Window, MATLAB shows
descriptions for each argument. Optional arguments are indicated by the (Optional) keyword next to
the argument description. If MATLAB suggests multiple arguments, click the arrow to the right of the
argument description to view the additional arguments. Alternatively, you can use the Ctrl+Alt
+Right Arrow and Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow keyboard shortcuts.

To open the documentation for the function MATLAB is showing syntax suggestions for, click the Help
button to the left of the function syntax suggestions, or, in the Command Window, click the More
Help... link below the function syntax suggestions.

Suggestions for function syntaxes and arguments appear for MATLAB installed functions and for
functions that you create. The suggestions for MATLAB functions come from the documentation. The
suggestions for functions that you create come from the function definition statement (first
executable line) in the MATLAB program file. That file must be on the search path or in the current
folder. For more information about adding help to the functions that you create, see “Add Help for
Your Program” and “Customize Code Suggestions and Completions”.

Disable Suggestions and Completions

In the Editor, Live Editor, and App Designer, you can disable showing suggestions automatically. You
also can disable the use of the Tab key for showing suggestions and the use of the Right Arrow key
for accepting suggestions. To disable these options, go to the Home tab, and in the Environment

5 Workspace Browser and Variable Editor

Create and Edit Variables

Create Variables
The MATLAB workspace consists of the variables you create and store in memory during a MATLAB
session. You can create new variables in the workspace by running MATLAB code or using existing
variables.

To create a new variable, enter the variable name in the Command Window, followed by an equal sign
(=) and the value you want to assign to the variable. For example, if you run these statements,
MATLAB adds the four variables x, A, I, and C to the workspace:
x = 5.71;
A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
I = besseli(x,A);
C = {A A A};

You do not have to declare variables before assigning values to them.

If you do not end the assignment statement with a semicolon (;), MATLAB displays the result in the
Command Window. For example,
x = 5.71

x =
5.7100

If you do not explicitly assign the output of a statement to a variable, MATLAB generally assigns the
result to the reserved word ans. The value of ans changes with every statement that returns an
output value that is not assigned to a variable. For example,
sin(1)

ans =
0.8415

To view and edit variables, use the Workspace browser and Variables editor. (Some editing options
are not available in MATLAB Online.)

View Workspace Contents

To view a list of variables in your workspace, use the Workspace browser.

5-2
 Create and Edit Variables

To open the Workspace browser if it is not currently visible, do either of the following:

• On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Layout. Then, under Show, select
Workspace.
• Type workspace in the Command Window.

By default, the Workspace browser displays the base workspace. You also can view function
workspaces if MATLAB is in debug mode. For more information, see “Base and Function
Workspaces”.

To display additional columns such as size and range, on the Workspace browser title bar, click the
Show Workspace Actions button , and then click Choose Columns. In MATLAB Online, to select
which columns to display, right-click a column name in the Workspace panel and select or clear the
desired column names.

You also can use the who command in the Command Window to view a list of variables. To list
information about size and class, use the whos command. For example, if you have the variables x, A,
and I in your workspace, you can run the who and whos commands to view your workspace contents:

who

Your variables are:

A C I x

whos

Name Size Bytes Class Attributes

A 3x3 72 double
C 1x3 528 cell
I 3x3 72 double
x 1x1 8 double

View Variable Contents

You can view the contents of a variable in several ways:

• Command Window — Type the variable name at the command prompt. For example:

x =
5.7100
• Variables editor — In the Workspace browser, double-click a variable name. The Variables editor
opens for that variable.

5-3
5 Workspace Browser and Variable Editor

Some variables open a viewer or other tool appropriate for their type. For details, see the
documentation for that data or object type.

A Protected Property or Private Property icon next to a variable property in the

Variables editor indicates that the property is protected or private, respectively.

To change how the Variables editor displays variables, go to the View tab, and in the Format
section, select a number display format. The display format does not affect how values are
displayed in the Command Window or Workspace browser, or how the variables are saved.

Note The maximum number of elements in a variable that you can open in the Variables editor
depends on your operating system and the amount of physical memory installed on your system.

Edit Variable Contents

You can edit the contents of scalar (1-by-1) variables in the Workspace browser. To edit the contents,
click the variable value to select it and then enter a new value.

To edit other variables, open them in the Variables editor. For example, suppose that you create a cell
array, C, by running these commands in the Command Window:

A = magic(4);
C = {A A A};

In the Workspace browser, double-click the variable name C to open it in the Variables editor.

5-4
 Create and Edit Variables

To edit an element of a variable, double-click the element. The element opens in a new document
within the Variables editor. For example, if you double-click element C{1,1} in the Variables editor,
the contents of that cell open in a new tab. You can edit the value of a variable element by clicking
the element and typing a new value. Press Enter or click another element to save the change.

To return to the parent cell array or structure of an element, go to the View tab and click the Go Up
button.

Changes you make in the Variables editor are automatically saved in the workspace. Changes you

Display Statistics in the Workspace Browser

For each variable or object, the Workspace browser can display statistics such as the Min, Max, and
Mean, when relevant. MATLAB performs these calculations using the min, max, and mean functions,
and updates the results automatically.

To display statistics, on the Workspace browser title bar, click the Show Workspace Actions
button, and then select Choose Columns. Select the statistics you want MATLAB to calculate. In
MATLAB Online, to select which columns to display, right-click a column name in the Workspace
panel and select or clear the desired column names.

Improve Workspace Browser Performance During Statistical

Calculations
If you show statistical columns in the Workspace browser, and you work with very large arrays, you
might experience performance issues when the data changes as MATLAB updates the statistical
results. To improve performance, consider one or both of the following:

• Show only the statistics of interest to you.

On the Workspace browser title bar, click the Show Workspace Actions button, and then
select Choose Columns. Clear the statistics that you do not want MATLAB to calculate. In
MATLAB Online, to change which statistics display, right-click a column name in the Workspace
panel and clear the statistics that you do not want MATLAB to calculate.
• Exclude large arrays from statistical calculations.

On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click the Specify preferences button. Select
MATLAB > Workspace, and then use the arrow buttons under Statistical calculations to
change the maximum array size for which the Workspace browser performs statistical
calculations. Any variable exceeding the maximum array size reports <Too many elements> in
Workspace browser statistics columns instead of statistical results.

Include or Exclude NaN Values in Statistical Calculations

If your data includes NaNs (Not-a-Number values), you can specify that the Workspace browser
statistical calculations consider or ignore the NaNs. On the Home tab, in the Environment section,
click the Specify preferences button. Select MATLAB > Workspace, and then select one of the
following:

• Use NaNs when calculating statistics

If a variable includes a NaN, and you select this option, the values for Min, Max, Var, and several
other statistics appear as NaN. However, Mode and several other statistics show a numeric result.
• Ignore NaNs whenever possible

If a variable includes a NaN, and you select this option, numeric results appear for most statistics
including Min, Max, and Mode. However, Var still appears as NaN.

Save and Load Workspace Variables

The workspace is not maintained across sessions of MATLAB. When you quit MATLAB, the workspace
clears. However, you can save any or all the variables in the current workspace to a MAT-file (.mat).
You can then reuse the workspace variables later during the current MATLAB session or during
another session by loading the saved MAT-file.

Save Workspace Variables

There are several ways to save workspace variables interactively:

• To save all workspace variables to a MAT-file, on the Home tab, in the Variable section, click
Save Workspace.
• To save a subset of your workspace variables to a MAT-file, select the variables in the Workspace
browser, right-click, and then select Save As. You also can drag the selected variables from the
Workspace browser to the Current Folder browser.
• To save variables to a MATLAB script, click the Save Workspace button or select the Save As
option, and in the Save As window, set the Save as type option to MATLAB Script. Variables
that cannot be saved to a script are saved to a MAT-file with the same name as that of the script.

You also can save workspace variables programmatically using the save function. For example, to
save all current workspace variables to the file june10.mat, use the command

save('june10')

To save only variables A and B to the file june10.mat, use the command

save('june10','A','B')

To store fields of a scalar structure as individual variables, use the save function with the -struct
option. This can be useful if you previously loaded variables from a MAT-File into a structure using
the syntax S = load(filename) and want to keep the original variable structure when saving to a
new MAT-File.

To save part of a variable, use the matfile function. This can be useful if you are working with very
large data sets that are otherwise too large to fit in memory. For more information, see “Save and
Load Parts of Variables in MAT-Files”.

In MATLAB Online, variables persist between sessions. Saving allows you to clear the workspace and
load variables at a later time. To save variables, use the save or matfile functions.

Load Workspace Variables

To load saved variables from a MAT-file into your workspace, double-click the MAT-file in the Current
Folder browser.

To load a subset of variables from a MAT-file on the Home tab, in the Variable section, click Import
Data. Select the MAT-file you want to load and click Open. You also can drag the desired variables
from the Current Folder browser Details panel of the selected MAT-file to the Workspace browser. In
MATLAB Online, you also can click the Preview button to the right of the MAT-file in the Files
browser and drag the desired variables from the preview to the Workspace panel.

5-12
 Save and Load Workspace Variables

To load variables saved to a MATLAB script into the workspace, simply run the script.

You also can load saved variables programmatically, use the load function. For example, load all
variables from the file durer.mat

load('durer')

To load variables X and map from the file durer.mat

load('durer','X','map')

To load part of a variable, use the matfile function. This is useful if you are working with very large
data sets that are otherwise too large to fit in memory. For more information, see “Save and Load
Parts of Variables in MAT-Files”.

Caution When you load data into the MATLAB workspace, the new variables you create overwrite
any existing variables in the workspace that have the same name. To avoid overwriting existing
variables, use the load function to load the variables into a structure. For example, S =
load('durer') loads all the variables from the file durer.mat into the structure S.

View Contents of MAT-File

To see the variables in a MAT-file before loading the file into your workspace, click the file name in
the Current Folder browser. Information about the variables appears in the Details pane.

Alternatively, use the command whos -file filename. This function returns the name, dimensions,
size, and class of all variables in the specified MAT-file. For example, you can view the contents of the
example file durer.mat.

whos -file durer.mat

Name Size Bytes Class Attributes

X 648x509 2638656 double

caption 2x28 112 char
map 128x3 3072 double

The byte counts represent the number of bytes that the data occupies in memory when loaded into
the MATLAB workspace. Because of compression, data encoding, and metadata, the space occupied
in the file by a variable may be different from the in-memory size. MATLAB compresses data in
Version 7 or higher MAT-files. For more information, see “MAT-File Versions”.

Find Files

In this section...
“Simple Search for File Names” on page 6-2
“Advanced Search for Files” on page 6-2
“Advanced Search in MATLAB Online” on page 6-4

Simple Search for File Names

If you know the name of the file you want to find, begin typing the first characters of the name in the
Current Folder browser. As you type, the Current Folder browser searches downward from the top of
the window, looking through all expanded folders. To open the Current Folder browser if it is not
open, on the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Layout. Then, under Show, select
Current Folder.

Alternatively, to search for a series of characters anywhere in the name of a file:

1
Click the search button
in the Current Folder toolbar. The address bar becomes a search field.
2 Type a portion of a file name. The asterisk character (*) is a wildcard. For example, to show only
file names that begin with coll and have a .m extension, type coll*.m.
3 Press Enter.

MATLAB displays all files within the current folder (including its subfolders) that match that file
name. If you typed the full path to a folder, that folder becomes the current folder.

To clear the results and show all items in the current folder, press the Esc key.

In MATLAB Online, to search for files in the current folder or in the current project, go to the Home
tab and click the Go to File button.

Advanced Search for Files

To perform an advanced search for files, you can use the Find Files tool. Use the Find Files tool to:

• Search for specific text in file names and within files

• Include or exclude specified file types from your search
• Search in specified folders
• Exclude large files from your search

To open the Find Files tool, on the Home tab, in the File section, click Find Files. Enter your
search criteria in the dialog box that opens.

6-2
 Find Files

Use the Look in menu to specify the folders you want to search. Select Entire MATLAB Path to
search all folders on the MATLAB search path. Alternatively, you can browse for a folder by selecting
Browse... or you can enter the full path for one or more folders. Separate each path with a semicolon
(;).

Click Find to begin the search. Search results appear in the right pane of the dialog box, with a
summary at the bottom. For text searches, results include the line number and line of code. To see file
locations, select Show full path names.

Open one or more files by right-clicking the files and selecting one of the Open options.

Include or Exclude File Types

You can search for files with only a specified extension, by selecting an option in the Include only
file type(s) menu. For example, select *.m, *.mlx to limit the search to MATLAB program files.

Searching within large files can be time consuming. To speed up your search, specify a file size in the
Skip files over field. The Find Files tool ignores files larger than the size you specify.

Troubleshooting

If the Find Files tool does not find the file you want, try the following:

• When searching for file names, use the asterisk character (*) as a wildcard character to expand
your search. For example, to show file names that begin with coll and have a .m extension, type
coll*.m.
• Select the Include Subfolders check box if the file might be in a subfolder.
• If you select the Skip file type(s) check box, ensure that you do not exclude relevant file types
from your search. Click Edit and review the Edit Skipped File Extensions dialog box. Ensure that
relevant file types do not have the State check box selected.

Advanced Search in MATLAB Online

In MATLAB Online, you can search for and replace text in filenames and file content using the Find

Files panel. To open the Find Files panel, click the Find Files icon in the sidebar. If the Find Files
icon is not in the left or right sidebar, go to the Home tab, and in the File section, click Find

Compare Files and Folders and Merge Files

You can use the Comparison Tool to display the differences between selected pairs of files or folders.
For some file types, you also can merge changes from one file to the other.

Comparison Process
The comparison process involves three steps:
1 Select the files or folders to compare.
2 Choose a comparison type.
3 Explore the comparison report.

Select the Files or Folders to Compare

You can select files and folders to compare using any of these methods:

• MATLAB desktop — Go to the Home tab, and in the File section, click Compare. Click the
button to select items to compare, or drag and drop files from your file browser into the First file
or folder or Second file or folder fields.
• Current Folder browser — Select a file or folder, right-click, and select Compare Against. Click
the button to select a second item to compare, or drag and drop a file from your file browser
into the Second file or folder field. To select two files or subfolders to compare, Ctrl-click the file
names. Then right-click and select Compare Selected Files/Folders.
• Editor or Live Editor — Go to the Editor or Live Editor tab, and in the File section, click
Compare. The Comparison Tool includes the currently open file in the First file or folder field.
Click the button to select a second item to compare, or drag and drop a file from your file
browser into the Second file or folder field.

To compare a file with the autosave version or the saved version on disk, go to the Editor tab and
click Compare and select Compare with Version on Disk or Save and Compare with
Autosave. If your file is modified, the Editor saves the file before comparing. The Compare with
Version on Disk and Save and Compare with Autosave options are only available if the option
for automatically saving changes to a file is disabled. To disable the option, go to the Home tab,
and in the Environment section, click Preferences. Then, select Editor/Debugger and clear
Save changes upon clicking away from a file. This option is not available in the Live Editor.
• Command Window — Use the visdiff function. For example, to compare the two files
lengthofline.m and lengthofline2.m using the visdiff function and the default text
comparison, type visdiff('lengthofline.m','lengthofline2.m'). MATLAB opens the
Comparison Tool and displays the resulting comparison report.

Tip When selecting folders to compare, select Include subfolders to include subfolder content in
the comparison.

Choose a Comparison Type

The Comparison Tool compares selected items using the default comparison type defined for the
selected items. For some item types, you can select a different comparison type from the default. For

6-6
 Compare Files and Folders and Merge Files

example, you can choose from a text, binary, file list, or XML comparison. To change the comparison
type, select the files or folders to compare. Then, select from the available Comparison type options.
The Comparison Tool displays only the valid options for the selected item types.

You cannot change the comparison type for an existing comparison report. To change the comparison
type, start a new comparison.

If you specify two files or folders to compare using either the Current Folder browser or the visdiff
function, then the Comparison Tool automatically performs the default comparison type. For example,
from the Current Folder browser, if you select two XML files to compare, the tool uses the default text
comparison. To change the comparison type to a hierarchical comparison instead, create a new
comparison using the Comparison Tool.

Explore the Comparison Report

After selecting the comparison type, click the Compare button. The comparison report opens. You
can explore the comparison report in different ways depending on the items being compared. For
more information, see the details described for each comparison type below.

Compare Folders and Zip Files

You can compare any combination of folders and ZIP files using the Comparison Tool. For example,
you can compare the contents of a folder to the contents of a ZIP file. The Comparison Tool performs
a file list comparison of the selected items.

Create a folder comparison report to:

• Identify common files.

• Determine whether files or folders with identical names have identical content. If such files or
folders exist, you can open a detailed comparison report for the items directly from the report.

When you perform a file list comparison, a new window opens and displays the contents of the
specified lists side by side. For example, suppose that you have two folders, curvefitting and
curvefitting2, with several differences. When you compare the two folders, the Comparison Tool
displays the resulting report.

6-7
6 Managing Files in MATLAB

The Comparison Tool highlights files and subfolders that do not match using the colors listed in this
table.

Highlight Color Description

Purple The contents of the files or folders differ. Click
the compare link to investigate.
Blue The file or folder only exists in the right list.
Yellow The file or folder only exists in the left list.
None The files or folders are identical.

You further can explore the results using several methods:

• To sort the results by name, type, size, or last modified timestamp, click the corresponding column
header. For example, click the Type column header to sort by folder and file type.
• To open a detailed comparison report for items with differing content, click the compare link next
to the item.
• To open a file in the Editor, click the open link next to a file name. If the file is present in both
folders, you can click links to open the left or right version of the file.
• If subfolders are very large and contain many files, analysis continues in the background. The tool
displays the number of items still to be compared at the top of the report. You can click Skip
Current to skip the current item or Cancel All to stop further analysis.

• To save time when reviewing differences, especially when comparing many subfolders, you can
filter the report. To apply a filter, on the View tab, select Filter > "filterName".

6-8
 Compare Files and Folders and Merge Files

To create a new filter, on the View tab, select Filter > Add/Remove Filter. You can specify filters
to ignore certain files and folders, such as backup files or files created by a revision control
system. For example, to ignore all files and folders in a folder named CVS, type CVS/. To ignore all
files in a folder named CVS, but not ignore subfolders, type CVS/*.

To edit existing filters, double click the filter.

For information about how to further configure the comparison report, see “Additional Comparison
Tools” on page 6-15.

Compare MATLAB Projects in MATLAB Online

In MATLAB Online, you can compare project definition files. When you compare folders, MATLAB
detects whether they are project root folders. MATLAB looks for and compares the project definition
files stored in the resources or .SimulinkProject folder. Project definition files contain
information about the project path, project settings, shortcuts, labels, and referenced projects.

To compare project definition files, select the PRJ files or the project root folders, right-click your
selection, and select Compare Selected Files/Folders. When you select a node in the results report,
the Comparison Tool shows more details in the bottom pane.

6-9
6 Managing Files in MATLAB

This example comparison shows that:

• AnalogControl.slx (purple) is modified.

• f14_airframe.slx (yellow) is replaced by f14_airframe.mdl (blue) in the project.
• LinearActuator.slx is modified (purple) and the model has a new label associated to it (blue).
• A new label classification category named Release Branch is added.
• The reference to the Signal Multiplier project is deleted.
• The F14 Model shortcut is deleted.

Understand Comparison Results

The Comparison Tool displays the total number of differences in the bottom-right corner of the
comparison report and highlights the lines that have changed with the colors listed in this table.

If the files are identical or differ only in line break, you see a message reporting there are no
differences.

Highlight Color Description

Purple The line contains differences.
Dark Purple The highlighted characters are different.
Blue The line exists only in the right file. This can happen when the
line is inserted in the right file, or when it is deleted from the
left file. The corresponding line in the left file is highlighted
using a gray striped pattern.

6-12
 Compare Files and Folders and Merge Files

Highlight Color Description

Yellow The line exists only in the left file. This can happen when the
line is inserted in the left file, or when it is deleted from the
right file. The corresponding line in the right file is
highlighted using a gray striped pattern.

The Comparison Tool attempts to match lines and detects text that is added, deleted, or changed. For
example, in the text comparison of lengthofline.m and lengthofline2.m, the tool determines
that lengthofline2.m has a line of code that does not exist in lengthofline.m and highlights it
(line 22) in blue. Also, the tool takes the additional line into account and determines that the line
containing the end statement in each file matches, even though the end statement does not occur on
the same line number in both files.

You further can explore and configure the results using several methods:

• Ignore white space differences — To help distinguish between functional changes and changes to
indentation, you can hide white space differences. To hide differences that only involve white
space characters, click Filter, and select Ignore White Space.
•
Show compared files details — To show the file details, click the expand arrow next to the file
name.
• Save comparison report — To save a copy of the comparison report, select Publish > Publish to
HTML, Publish to Word, or Publish to PDF.

For information about how to further configure the comparison report, see “Additional Comparison
Tools” on page 6-15.

To step through the results one difference at a time, use the Next and Previous buttons.

By default, XML files are compared using a text comparison. To compare XML files with a
hierarchical comparison instead, see “Compare XML Files” on page 6-30.

Tips for Successful Merging

You can merge changes only in editable code. Sections of code with a white background are editable.
Examples of editable sections include the body of functions that you define (such as callbacks and
helper functions) and the definitions of custom properties. Sections with a gray background contain
non-editable generated code and therefore cannot be merged. If a change spans both an editable and
a non-editable section, you cannot merge it.

You can merge changes only from left to right. This makes the order of the files in the Comparison
Tool important.

If neither app contains changes in the generated code, place the file containing the changes that you
want to merge in the left pane. You can merge only from left to right. To swap a file from the left pane
to the right pane, click the Swap Sides button before you start merging. Clicking the Swap
Sides button reverts any merges already made and creates a new comparison report for the original
files.

If one of the apps contains changes in the generated code, place the file containing the generated
code that you want in the merged result in the right pane of the Comparison Tool. To swap a file from
the left pane to the right pane, click the Swap Sides button before you start merging.

If both apps contain changes in the generated code, those lines of code cannot be merged in the
Comparison Tool. To merge the files, use App Designer to interactively apply the desired changes to
the app

Compare XML Files

In this section...

“Change Comparison Type” on page 6-31
“Navigate the XML Comparison Report” on page 6-31
“Save Comparison Log Files in a Zip File” on page 6-32
“Export Results to the Workspace” on page 6-33

You can use the Comparison Tool to compare a pair of XML text files. The tool processes the results
into a report that you can use to explore the file differences. You can compare XML files with a text
comparison or a hierarchical XML comparison.

You can access the XML Comparison Tool from the Current Folder browser, the Comparison Tool, or
programmatically using the visdiff function.

The XML comparison compares the files using the “Chawathe” algorithm, as described in this paper:
Change Detection in Hierarchically Structured Information, Sudarshan Chawathe, Anand Rajaraman,
and Jennifer Widom; SIGMOD Conference, Montreal, Canada, June 1996, pp. 493-504.

This conference paper is based on work published in 1995: see http://

dbpubs.stanford.edu:8090/pub/1995-45.

XML comparison reports display in the Comparison Tool. For more information about the Comparison
Tool, see “Compare Files and Folders and Merge Files” on page 6-6.

The XML comparison report shows a hierarchical view of the portions of the two XML files that differ.
The report does not show sections of the files that are identical.

If the files are identical or differ only in line break, you see a message reporting there are no
differences.

Note It might not be possible for the analysis to detect matches between previously corresponding
sections of files that have diverged too much.

Change detection in the Chawathe analysis is based on a scoring algorithm. Items match if their
Chawathe score is above a threshold. The implementation of Chawathe's algorithm uses a comparison
pattern that defines the thresholds.

Choose XML Files to Compare

From the Current Folder Browser

To compare two files from the Current Folder browser:

• For two files in the same folder, select the files, right-click and select Compare Selected Files/
Folders.
• To compare files in different folders:

6-30
 Compare XML Files

1 Select a file, right-click, and select Compare Against

2 Select the second file to compare in the Select Files or Folders for Comparison dialog box.
3 Select the Comparison type XML text comparison.
4 Click Compare.

The XML Comparison Tool performs an analysis on the files and displays a report in the Comparison
Tool. The file you right-click to open the XML Comparison Tool displays on the right side of the report.

For more information about comparisons of other file types with the Comparison Tool, such as text,
MAT, or binary, see “Compare Files and Folders and Merge Files” on page 6-6.

Compare from the Comparison Tool

To compare files using the Comparison Tool, from the MATLAB toolstrip, in the File section, select
the Compare button. In the dialog box, select files to compare.

If the files you select to compare are XML files and you select an XML text comparison, the XML
Comparison Tool performs a Chawathe analysis of the XML files, and generates a report.

Compare from the Command Line

To compare XML files from the command line, enter

visdiff(filename1, filename2, 'xml')

where filename1 and filename1 are XML files.

Change Comparison Type

If you specify two XML files to compare using either the Current Folder Browser or the visdiff
function, then the Comparison Tool performs the default comparison type for the selected files. You
can compare XML files with a text comparison or a hierarchical XML comparison.

To change comparison type, either create a new comparison from the Comparison Tool, or use the
Compare Against option from the Current Folder browser. You can change comparison type in the
Select Files or Folders for Comparison dialog box. Select XML text comparison before clicking
Compare.

Navigate the XML Comparison Report

The XML comparison report shows changes only. The report is a hierarchical view of the differences
between two XML text files, and is not a hierarchical view of the original XML data.

To step through differences, use the Comparison tab on the toolstrip. To move to the next or
previous group of differences, on the Comparison tab, in the Navigate section, click the arrow
buttons to go to the previous or next difference.

You can also click to select items in the hierarchical trees.

• Selected items appear highlighted in a box.

• If the selected item is part of a matched pair, it is highlighted in a box in both left and right trees.

Report item highlighting indicates the nature of each difference as follows:

6-31
6 Managing Files in MATLAB

Type of report Highlighting Notes

Changed parameters for the selected pair are displayed
underneath.
Inserted Blue When you select an unmatched item it is highlighted in a box in
Deleted Yellow one tree only.

Container None Rows with no highlighting indicate a container item that contains
other modified or unmatched items.

Use the Comparison tab for the following functions:

• Refresh — Run Chawathe analysis again to refresh the comparison report.

• Swap Sides — Swap sides and rerun comparison. Runs the Chawathe analysis again.
• Save As > HTML — Opens the Save dialog box, where you can choose to save a printable version
of the XML comparison report. The report is a noninteractive HTML document of the differences
detected by the Chawathe algorithm for printing or archiving a record of the comparison.
• Save As > Workspace Variable — Export XML comparison results to workspace.
• In the Navigate section, click the arrow buttons (or press Up or Down keys) to go to the previous
difference or go to the next difference.
• Compare Selected Parameter — Open a new report for the currently selected pair of
parameters. Use this when the report cannot display all the details in the Parameters pane, e.g.,
long character vectors or a script.

Use the View tab controls on the toolstrip for the following functions:

• Expand All — Expands every item in the tree.

Tip Right-click to expand or collapse the hierarchy within the selected tree node.
• Collapse All — Collapses all items in the tree to the most compact view possible.

Note It may not be possible for the analysis to detect matches between previously corresponding
sections of files that have diverged too much.

Save Comparison Log Files in a Zip File

Temporary XML comparison files accumulate in tempdir/MatlabComparisons/
XMLComparisons/TempDirs/. These temporary files are deleted when you close the related
comparison report.

You can zip the temporary files (such as log files) created during XML comparisons, for sharing or
archiving. While the comparison report is open, enter:
xmlcomp.zipTempFiles('c:\work\myexportfolder')

The destination folder must exist. The output reports the zip file name:

Files and Folders That MATLAB Accesses

In this section...
“Where Does MATLAB Look for Files?” on page 6-38
“Files and Folders You Should Add to the Search Path” on page 6-38

Where Does MATLAB Look for Files?

When you do not specify a path to a file, MATLAB looks for the file in the current folder or on the
search path. Functions in the current folder take precedence over functions with the same file name
that reside anywhere on the search path. To identify the current folder, type pwd in the Command
Window.

To make files accessible to MATLAB, do one of the following:

• Change the current folder to the folder that contains the files. Use the cd function or browse to a
different folder in the Current Folder toolbar:

• Add the folder that contains the files to the search path. Changes you make to the search path
apply to the current MATLAB session. To reuse the modified search path in future MATLAB
sessions, save your changes.
• Store individual files in the userpath MATLAB folder, which is on the search path. To determine
the location of this folder, run the userpath function.

Files and Folders You Should Add to the Search Path

The MATLAB search path should include:

• Folders containing files that you run.

• Folders containing files that are called by files you run.
• Subfolders containing files that you run. Making a folder accessible does not make its subfolders
accessible.

For files in @ (class) and + (namespace) folders, make the parent folder accessible. For details, see
“Folders Containing Class Definitions”.

If files call other files that are in multiple folders, determine the location of all the called files by
performing a dependency analysis on your files. For more information, see “Dependencies Within a
Folder”

When Multiple Files Have the Same Name

6-38
 Files and Folders That MATLAB Accesses

Name conflicts arise when MATLAB has access to multiple files with the same name, and when a file
has the same name as a variable in the base workspace or a built-in function for a MathWorks
product.

When there are name conflicts, MATLAB follows these precedence rules:

• “Function Precedence Order”

• “Class Precedence and MATLAB Path”

The file that MATLAB does not use is called a shadowed file. In some cases, MATLAB warns you that a
shadowed file exists.

Locations of MathWorks Products

Files and folders for products provided by MathWorks are in matlabroot/toolbox. The files and
folders under matlabroot are important to your installation. In particular:

• Do not store your personal files and folders in matlabroot/toolbox.

• Do not change files, folders, and subfolders in matlabroot/toolbox. The exception is the
pathdef.m file, which you can update and save in its default location, matlabroot/toolbox/
local.

To see a list of all toolbox folder names supplied with MathWorks products, run:

dir(fullfile(matlabroot,'toolbox'))

changes to files made from programs and tools other than MATLAB.

When you access files on a network, frequent refreshing of the Current

Folder browser can slow performance in MATLAB. If this seems to be a
problem, try increasing the value for Number of seconds between
auto-refresh. Alternatively, clear the Auto-refresh view from file
system selection to disable automatic refresh.

To manually refresh the view at any time, right-click in the Current

Folder browser and select Refresh.
Path indication Control the appearance of folders and files that are inaccessible to
MATLAB, and whether to display tooltips describing their status.
MATLAB cannot access files if they are not on the search path or, in
some cases, if they are in a private folder.

 Current Folder Browser Preferences

Preference Usage
Hidden Files Specify whether the Current Folder browser displays files and folders
that the operating system hides from system file browsers and file-
listing commands.

This preference does not apply to Microsoft Windows platforms. On

Windows platforms, the Current Folder browser follows the Windows
preference for showing hidden files. To set or change the Windows
preference, access the Folder Options, and then select an option for
viewing Hidden files and folders.

To change how dates display in the Current Folder browser, change the short date format for your
operating system. Then, refresh the date display: Right-click in the Current Folder browser and select
Refresh. MATLAB uses your operating system's short date format to display dates in both the
Current Folder browser and the Command History.

Specify File Names

In this section...
“Construct Valid Path and File Names” on page 6-42
“Case Sensitivity of File Names” on page 6-44

Construct Valid Path and File Names

Specify Path Names

A path name specifies file locations, for example, C:\work\my_data (on Microsoft Windows
platforms) or /usr/work/my_data (on Linux or Mac platforms). If you do not specify a path name
when accessing a file, MATLAB first searches in the current folder. To indicate a file in a particular
location, specify a path name.

Path name specifications differ, depending on the platform on which you are running MATLAB. Use
the fullfile function to construct path names in statements that work on any platform. This
function is particularly useful when you provide code to someone using it on a platform other than
your own.

fullfile inserts platform-specific file separators where necessary. The file separator character is
the symbol that distinguishes one folder level from another in a path name. A forward slash (/) is a
valid separator on any platform. A backward slash (\) is valid only on Microsoft Windows platforms. In
the full path to a folder, the final slash is optional. Type filesep in the Command Window to
determine the correct file separator character to use on your platform.

To identify the platform on which MATLAB is currently running, use the ismac, ispc, and isunix
functions.

Characters Within File and Folder Names

File names must start with a letter, and can contain letters, digits, or underscores.

Avoid using accent characters such as umlauts or circumflexes in path names. MATLAB might not
recognize the path. In addition, attempts to save a file to such a path might result in unpredictable
behavior.

If a path or file name contains spaces, enclose the input in single quotes. For example:

load 'filename with space.mat'

or

load('filename with space.mat')

Absolute and Relative Path Names

MATLAB always accepts absolute path names (also called full path names), such as I:/Documents/
My_Files or /users/myuserid/Homework/myfile.m. An absolute path name can start with any
of the following:

• UNC path '\\'.

6-42
 Specify File Names

• Drive letter, on Microsoft Windows platforms, such as C:\.

• '/' character on Linux platforms.

Some MATLAB functions also support relative path names. Unless otherwise noted, the path name is
relative to the current folder. For example:

• myfile.m refers to the myfile.m file in the current folder.

• myfolder refers to the myfolder folder in the current folder.
• ../myfolder/myfile.m refers to the myfile.m file in the myfolder folder, where myfolder is
at same level as the current folder. Each repetition of ../ at the beginning of the path moves up
an additional folder level.

Tip If multiple documents are open and docked in the Editor, you can copy the absolute path of any
of these documents to the clipboard. This practice is useful if you need to specify the absolute path in
another MATLAB tool or an external application. Right-click the document tab, and then select Copy
Full Path to Clipboard.

Partial Path Names in MATLAB

A partial path name is the last portion of a full path name for a location on the MATLAB search path.
Some functions accept partial path names.

Examples of partial path names are: matfun/trace, private/cancel, and demos/clown.mat.

Use a partial path name to:

• Specify a location independent of where MATLAB is installed.

• Locate a function in a specific toolbox when multiple toolboxes contain functions with that name.
For example, to open the file for the set function in the Database Toolbox™ product, type:

open database/set
• Locate method files. For example, to check if a plot method exists for the time series object, type:

exist timeseries/plot

Specifying the at sign character (@) in method folder names is optional.

• Locate private and method files, which sometimes are hidden.

Be sure to specify enough of the path name to make the partial path name unique.

Maximum Length of Path Names in MATLAB

The maximum length allowed for a path name depends on your platform.

For example, on Microsoft Windows platforms:

• The maximum length is known as MAX_PATH.

• You cannot use an absolute path name that exceeds 260 characters.
• For a relative path name, you might need to use fewer than 260 characters. When the Windows
operating system processes a relative path name, it can produce a longer absolute path name,
possibly exceeding the maximum length.

6-43
6 Managing Files in MATLAB

If you get unexpected results when working with long path names, use absolute instead of relative
path names. Alternatively, use shorter names for folders and files.

Case Sensitivity of File Names

In general, it is best to specify path and case precisely when specifying a file name.

Case Sensitivity When Calling Functions

You call function files by specifying the file name without the file extension. MATLAB returns an error
if it cannot find a case-sensitive match on the search path. By default, MATLAB suggests a function
with the correct case.

When multiple files have the same name, MATLAB follows precedence rules to determine which to
call. For more information, see “Function Precedence Order”.

Case Sensitivity When Loading and Saving Files

Linux platforms — File names are case sensitive.

• When loading or reading from a file, specify the file name using the correct case.
• When saving or writing to a file, MATLAB saves the file in the case you specify. Two files with the
same name, but different cases can exist in the same folder.

Windows platforms — File names are case insensitive. The Windows operating system considers
two files with the same name to be the same file, regardless of case. Therefore, you cannot have two
file names that differ only by case in the same folder.

• When loading or reading from a file, MATLAB accesses the file with the specified name that is
higher on the search path, regardless of case. For example, if you attempt to load MYFILE and
myfile.mat is higher on the search path than MYFILE.MAT, then MATLAB loads myfile.mat
without warning that there is a case mismatch.
• When saving or writing to a file, if you specify a file name that already exists in the folder,
MATLAB accesses the existing file without warning. For example, if you save data to a file named
myfile using the save function, and MYFILE.mat already exists in the folder, the data replaces
the contents of MYFILE.mat. However, the file name remains MYFILE.mat.

“Add Files to a Zip Archive” on page 6-45
“Extract Files from a Zip Archive” on page 6-45

Create a Zip Archive

Create archives using zip files to back up files, conserve file storage space, or to share collections of
files with others. You can either create an empty archive, or select files and folders to create an initial
archive. In either case, you can add more files later.

Create zip archives interactively using the Current Folder browser:

• To create an empty zip file, right-click white space, and then select New > Zip File.
• To create a populated zip file from selected files and folders, select the folders and files you want
to archive, right-click, and then select Create Zip File.

MATLAB creates an archive with a default name of Untitledn.zip, where n is an integer. Type over
the default file name to specify a descriptive name.

You also can create zip archives programmatically using the zip function. For example, to zip all files
with a .m and .mat extension in the current folder to a zip file archive named backup.zip, call:
zip('backup',{'*.m','*.mat'});

Add Files to a Zip Archive

To add files and folders to a zip file archive in the Current Folder browser, do one of the following:

• Select, and then drag the file that you want to add onto the archive.
• Copy the file that you want to add to the archive. Then, select the archive to which you want to
add the file and paste the file into the archive.

Extract Files from a Zip Archive

To extract a single file from within a zip file archive in the Current Folder browser:

1 Expand the zip file archive to view the archive contents, by clicking the associated + (expand)
button. By default, files within a zip file archive appear dimmed to indicate that they are not on
the MATLAB path.
2 Drag the file into a folder in the Current Folder browser.

MATLAB extracts the file and saves it to the folder where you dragged or pasted it.

To extract all the contents of a zip file, double-click the zip file in the Current Folder browser.
MATLAB creates a folder with the same name as the zip file, and extracts the entire contents of the
zip file into this folder.

6-45
6 Managing Files in MATLAB

To extract the contents of a zip file programmatically, use the unzip function. unzip also allows you
to specify a target folder. For example, to unzip the file, examples.zip, to a folder named
myfolder, call:

unzip('examples.zip','myfolder')

Note Archives created outside of MATLAB can be encrypted or password-protected. You cannot add
files to, or extract files from, protected archives from within MATLAB.

Compare Zip Archive to Unzipped Files

To determine differences between archived and unarchived files, use the Comparison Tool from
within the Current Folder browser as you would for any other files and folders.

• Right-click a zip archive, and then from the context menu select Compare Against and specify
the folder to which you want to compare the contents of the zip archive.
• Expand a zip archive, right-click a file within it, and then from the context menu select Compare
Against. Specify the file to which you want to compare the archived file.

 What Is the MATLAB Search Path?

What Is the MATLAB Search Path?

The MATLAB search path is a subset of all the folders in the file system. MATLAB uses the search
path to locate files used with MathWorks products efficiently.

The order of folders on the search path is important. When files with the same name appear in
multiple folders on the search path, MATLAB uses the one found in the folder nearest to the top of
the search path.

By default, the search path includes

• The MATLAB userpath folder, which is added to the search path at startup, and is the default
location for storing user files
• The folders defined as part of the MATLABPATH environment variable
• The folders provided with MATLAB and other MathWorks products, which are under
matlabroot/toolbox, where matlabroot is the folder displayed when you run matlabroot in
the Command Window

Class, namespace, private, and resources folders are special folders that cannot be specified
explicitly as part of the search path. A special folder is added to the search path implicitly when its
parent folder is specified as part of the path. To access the files and folders within a special folder,
you must add its parent folder to the path.

You can explicitly add folders to the search path for the files you run. For more information about
adding files to the search path, see “Change Folders on Search Path” on page 6-50.

userpath Folder on the Search Path

The userpath folder is first on the search path. By default, MATLAB adds the userpath folder to
the search path at startup. This folder is a convenient place for storing files that you use with
MATLAB.

The default userpath folder is platform-specific.

• Windows platforms — %USERPROFILE%/Documents/MATLAB.

• Mac platforms — $home/Documents/MATLAB.
• Linux platforms — $home/Documents/MATLAB if $home/Documents exists.
• MATLAB Online — /users/youruserid.

Alternatively, to determine or change the current userpath folder, call userpath.

By default, the userpath folder is also the startup folder when you start MATLAB by double-clicking
either the MATLAB shortcut on Windows systems or the MATLAB application on Mac systems.

MATLABPATH Environment Variable

The MATLABPATH environment variable can contain a list of additional folders to be added to the
MATLAB search path at startup. These folders are placed after the userpath folder, but ahead of the
folders supplied by MathWorks. By default, the MATLABPATH environment variable is not set. For
more information on how to set the MATLABPATH environment variable, see “Set the MATLABPATH
Environment Variable” on page 6-55.

6-47
6 Managing Files in MATLAB

Determine If Files and Folders Are on the Search Path

There are several ways to determine if files and folders are on the search path. You can either check
whether an individual file or folder is on the search path, or you can view the entire search path.

Check Whether File or Folder on Search Path

To determine whether a file is on the search path, run which filename. If the file is on the search
path, MATLAB returns the full path to the file.

To determine whether a file or folder is on the search path, use the Current Folder browser. Files and
folders not on the path are dimmed. To ensure that the Current Folder browser is set to indicate
whether a file or folder in on the search path, right-click any file or folder, and select the Indicate
Files Not on Path option.

Hover the pointer over any dimmed file or folder in the Current Folder browser to find out why it is
dimmed. A tooltip opens with an explanation. Frequently, the tooltip indicates that the file or folder is
not on the MATLAB path. If a tooltip does not appear, it may be disabled. To enable it, go the Home
tab and in the Environment section, click Preferences. Then, select MATLAB > Current
Folder. Select Show tooltip explaining why files are inaccessible to display the tooltip.

View Entire Search Path

Run the path command to view all the folders on the MATLAB search path.

Alternatively, use the Set Path dialog box to view the entire MATLAB search path. On the Home tab,
in the Environment section, click Set Path. The Set Path dialog box opens, listing all folders on the
search path. For more information on using the Set Path dialog box, see “Change Folders on Search
Path” on page 6-50.

6-48
 What Is the MATLAB Search Path?

The Search Path Is Not the System Path

The search path is not the same as the system path. Furthermore, there is no explicit relationship
between the MATLAB search path and the system path. However, both paths help in locating files, as
follows:

• MATLAB uses the search path to locate MATLAB files efficiently.

• The operating system uses a system path to locate operating system files efficiently.

How MATLAB Stores the Search Path

MATLAB saves search path information in the pathdef.m file. This file contains a series of full path
names, one for each folder on the search path.

By default, pathdef.m is in matlabroot/toolbox/local.

When you change the search path, MATLAB uses it in the current session, but does not update
pathdef.m. To use the modified search path in the current and future sessions, save the changes
using savepath or the Save button in the Set Path dialog box. This updates pathdef.m.

In MATLAB Online, all changes to the search path are automatically saved.

You can programmatically and interactively add or remove folders and change the order of MATLAB
folders on the search path, for the current session and future sessions. When files with the same
name appear in multiple folders on the search path, MATLAB uses the one in the folder nearest to the
top of the search path.

Add or Remove Folders on the Search Path Programmatically

You can programmatically add one or more folders on the path using the addpath function. This
example adds the folder to the top of the search path. See addpath for other options.

addpath("c:\matlab\MyFolder")

You can remove one or more folders from the path using the rmpath function.

rmpath("c:\matlab\MyFolder")

To save changes to the search path across MATLAB sessions, use the savepath function. This
function also saves changes that you make interactively with the Set Path dialog box, from the
Current Folder browser, or in the MATLAB Editor.

In MATLAB Online, changes to the path are automatically saved. Therefore, calling savepath is not
necessary.

Change Folders on Search Path Interactively

Use the Set Path dialog box to interactively make changes to the search path.

Use Search Path with Different MATLAB Installations

The default search path changes for each MATLAB version because the default folders that come with
the products change. Different MATLAB versions cannot use the same pathdef.m file.

To use your files with a new MATLAB version or with multiple versions, do one of the following:

• For each version, add the folders containing your files to the search path. Save the search path
(that is, save the pathdef.m file) where that version of MATLAB can access it.
• Include addpath statements in the startup.m file. Use the same startup.m file with the
multiple versions of MATLAB.

Including addpath statements in the startup.m file also allows you to use your files with MATLAB
on different platforms.

 Add Folders to the MATLAB Search Path at Startup

Add Folders to the MATLAB Search Path at Startup

There are two ways to add folders to the MATLAB search path at startup. You can either use a
startup.m file or you can set the MATLABPATH environment variable.

Use a startup.m File

The startup.m file is for specifying startup options. You can add folders to the search path by
including addpath statements in a startup.m file. For example, to add the specified folder, /home/
username/mytools to the search path at startup, include this statement in a startup.m file:

addpath /home/username/mytools

For more information on creating a startup.m file with addpath statements, see “Startup Options
in MATLAB Startup File” on page 1-20.

Set the MATLABPATH Environment Variable

You can also add folders to the search path at startup by setting the MATLABPATH environment
variable. :

Windows

To set the MATLABPATH environment variable in Windows, from the Windows Control Panel, go to
System and select Advanced system settings. Click the Environment Variables... button. Click
New... or Edit... to create or edit the MATLABPATH environment variable. In the dialog box that
appears, set the variable name to MATLABPATH and the variable value to a semicolon-separated list of
folders you want to add to the search path. For example, to add two folders, c:\matlab_files
\myfolder1 and c:\matlab_files\myfolder2, to the MATLABPATH environment variable, enter
c:\matlab_files\myfolder1;c:\matlab_files\myfolder2 as the variable value. Click OK to
set the variable and exit the dialog box. Restart MATLAB for the new settings to take effect.

To set the environment variable from a command window, run the command set
MATLABPATH=folders, where folders is a semicolon-separated list of folders. For example,
suppose that you want to add two folders, c:\matlab_files\myfolder1 and c:\matlab_files
\myfolder2, to the MATLABPATH environment variable. Run the command
set MATLABPATH=c:\matlab_files\myfolder1;c:\matlab_files\myfolder2

Once the environment variable is set, you must start MATLAB from the same command window for
the settings to take effect. The environment variable persists only as long as the command window is
open.

UNIX and Mac

To set the MATLABPATH environment variable in UNIX and Mac, in a terminal, run the command
export MATLABPATH=folders, where folders is a colon-separated list of folders.

For example, suppose that you want to add two folders, /home/j/Documents/MATLAB/mine and /
home/j/Documents/MATLAB/research, to the MATLABPATH environment variable on a UNIX
platform. Run the command
export MATLABPATH=/home/j/Documents/MATLAB/mine:/home/j/Documents/MATLAB/research

Once the environment variable is set, you must start MATLAB from the same shell for the settings to
take effect. The environment variable persists only as long as the shell remains open.

Note If you are using a C shell (csh or tcsh), the command for setting the MATLABPATH
environment variable is setenv MATLABPATH folders.

To add the folders for all future MATLAB sessions, set the MATLABPATH environment variable as part
of your shell configuration script.

 Assign userpath as Startup Folder (Macintosh or UNIX)

Assign userpath as Startup Folder (Macintosh or UNIX)

This example shows how to assign the userpath folder as the startup folder on a Macintosh
platform. The procedure is similar for UNIX platforms. Assume that userpath is set to the default
value on a Macintosh platform where smith is the home folder.

Using a bash shell, set the MATLAB_USE_USERWORK environment variable so that userpath will be
used as the startup folder.

export MATLAB_USE_USERWORK=1

From that shell, start MATLAB. Next, verify the current folder in MATLAB.

pwd

/Users/smith/Documents/MATLAB

Confirm that this is the same as the folder defined for userpath.

userpath

/Users/smith/Documents/MATLAB;

Confirm that the userpath is at the top of the search path.

Resolve Issue: MATLAB Did Not Appear to Successfully Set the

Search Path

Issue
When MATLAB starts, if there is a problem with the search path, then the following message appears:

Warning: MATLAB did not appear to successfully set the search

path...

If there is a problem with the search path, you cannot use MATLAB successfully. Search path
problems occur when:

• You save the search path on a Windows platform, and then try to use the same pathdef.m file on
a Linux platform.
• The pathdef.m file becomes corrupt, invalid, renamed, or deleted.
• MATLAB cannot locate the pathdef.m file.

Possible Solutions
For problems with the search path, try these recovery steps. Proceed from one possible solution to
the next only as necessary. After correcting problems with the search path, make any changes to run
your files. For example, us userpath to add the userpath folder to the search path or use addpath
to add other folders to the search path.

Confirm Correct pathdef.m File Is Being Used

Ensure MATLAB is using the pathdef.m file you expect:

which pathdef

If you want MATLAB to use the pathdef.m file at another location, make corrections. For example,
delete the incorrect pathdef.m file and ensure the correct pathdef.m file is in a location that
MATLAB can access.

Restart MATLAB to ensure that the problem does not recur.

Fix Problems In pathdef.m And startup.m Files

Look for and correct problems with the pathdef.m and startup.m files by following these steps:

1 Open pathdef.m and startup.m in a text editor. Depending on the problem, you might not be
able to open the pathdef.m file.
2 Look for obvious problems, such as invalid characters or path names.
3 Make corrections and save the files.
4 Restart MATLAB to ensure that the problem does not recur.

Restore the Default Path

Run restoredefaultpath, which sets the search path to the default and stores it in matlabroot/
toolbox/local. If restoredefaultpath seems to correct the problem, run savepath.

6-58
 Resolve Issue: MATLAB Did Not Appear to Successfully Set the Search Path

Restart MATLAB to ensure that the problem does not recur.

Depending on the problem, the following message could appear during this workflow:
The path may be bad. Please save your work (if desired), and quit.

Restore Default Path Using the Set Path Dialog Box

Try to correct the problem using the Set Path dialog box. On the Home tab, in the Environment
section, click Set Path. The Set Path dialog box appears. Alternatively, you can access this dialog box
using the pathtool function.

Click Default to restore the default search path and then click Save to save it. See “Change Folders
on Search Path” on page 6-50 for additional information on using the Set Path Dialog box.
Depending on the problem, you might not be able to open the dialog box.

Restart MATLAB to ensure that the problem does not recur.

Correct Search Path Problems Encountered During Startup

Run the following command:

restoredefaultpath; matlabrc

6-59
6 Managing Files in MATLAB

Wait a few minutes until it completes.

Once the command completes, if there is a pathdef.m file in the startup folder, then it caused the
problem. Either remove the problematic pathdef.m file or replace it with a functional pathdef.m
file. For example, run:

savepath('path_to_your_startup_folder/pathdef.m')

See “MATLAB Startup Folder” on page 1-15 for additional information..

Restart MATLAB to ensure that the problem does not recur.

 Errors When Updating Folders on Search Path

Errors When Updating Folders on Search Path

You can encounter errors or unexpected behavior when you try to delete, rename, or move folders
that:

• Are on the search path

• Contain subfolders that are on the search path

The behavior varies by platform because it depends on the behavior of similar features in the
operating system.

If your task fails and the error message indicates it is because the folder is on the search path, then
do the following:

1 Remove the folder from the search path.

2 Delete, rename, or move the folder.
3 Add the folder to the search path.

Troubleshoot Invalid or Unresponsive Windows Change

Notification Handles
MATLAB uses a Windows operating system feature called change notification handles to detect when
files in an associated folder are modified. Under certain circumstances, Windows fails to provide
MATLAB with a valid or responsive Change Notification Handle. The three most common causes for
invalid or unresponsive change notification handles are:

• Windows has exhausted its supply of notification handles.

• The specified folder resides on a file system that does not support change notification. (Syntax
TAS file server, SAMBA file server, and many NFS file servers are known to have this limitation.)
• Network or file server latency delays the arrival of the change notification so that changes are not
detected on a timely basis.

When MATLAB is unable to obtain a valid or responsive Change Notification Handle, it cannot
automatically detect changes to files and folders. For example, new functions added to an affected
folder might not be visible, and changed functions in memory might not be reloaded.

Control How MATLAB Detects Changes in Files and Folders

If MATLAB is unable to detect changes to your files and folders due to invalid or unresponsive change
notification handles, you can control how MATLAB detects changes in folders.

If your file system updates folder timestamps when files are added to folders, you can set your system
remote path policy to detect changes by testing the timestamps of folders. To do so, include these
commands in a startup.m file. For more information on creating a startup.m file, see “Startup
Options in MATLAB Startup File” on page 1-20.
system_dependent('RemotePathPolicy', 'TimecheckDir');
rehash path;

You might notice a performance degradation due to the time required to check the timestamps.

If your file system does not update folder timestamps (such as an NT file system), you can set your
system remote path policy to detect changes by rereading the affected folders at frequent intervals.
To do so, include these commands in a startup.m file.
system_dependent('RemotePathPolicy', 'Reload');
rehash path;

You might notice a significant performance degradation due to the time required to reread the
folders.

To determine how MATLAB detects changes in folders, use this command:

system_dependent('RemotePathPolicy', 'Status');

In some cases, detecting new files or changed files in folders affected by the invalid or unresponsive
change notification handles is not necessary. If detecting changes is not necessary, to provide
maximum performance, you can disable your system remote path policy. To do so, include these
commands in a startup.m file.
system_dependent('RemotePathPolicy', 'None');
rehash path;

6-62
 Troubleshoot Invalid or Unresponsive Windows Change Notification Handles

Clear Functions from Memory

Sometimes, changing your system remote path policy is not effective in preventing problems related
to remote file system caching or network latency. If MATLAB is still unable to detect the changes that
you have made to a function, you can clear the old copy of the function from memory using the clear
function. MATLAB reads the updated function the next time it is called.

Configure Change Notification Handle Warnings

To analyze which folders are affected by invalid or unresponsive Windows change notification
handles, you can configure the number of warning messages issued by Windows. To do so, include
one of these commands in a startup.m file. For more information on creating a startup.m file, see
“Startup Options in MATLAB Startup File” on page 1-20.

• Show warning messages for all invalid or unresponsive change notification handles.

system_dependent('DirChangeHandleWarn', 'Always');
• Only show the first warning message about invalid or unresponsive change notification handles.

system_dependent('DirChangeHandleWarn', 'Once');
• Never show warning messages about invalid or unresponsive change notification handles.

system_dependent('DirChangeHandleWarn', 'Never');

To determine when Windows warns about invalid or unresponsive change notification handles, use
this command.

system_dependent('DirChangeHandleWarn', 'Status');

 Configure Code Analyzer

Configure Code Analyzer

The Code Analyzer checks code and provides information about errors and warnings. To configure the
Code Analyzer, place a file named codeAnalyzerConfiguration.json in a resources folder. In
this configuration file, you can add custom checks and modify existing checks of the Code Analyzer.
Configure the Code Analyzer to enable or disable messages, customize message text, or change the
severity of the displayed message.

Note Changing the severity of a Code Analyzer message does not affect execution. Code is still
executed even if the severity of a check has been set to error. Syntax errors still prevent execution
even if their severity is changed or the message disabled.

This file configures the Code Analyzer checks performed for the resources folder's parent folder
and its subfolders. The configuration is cached at the start of a MATLAB session. The MATLAB Editor
does not automatically get the latest configuration when you add a new configuration file to a
resources folder or update an existing file during a MATLAB session. To refresh the cache, call
matlab.codeanalysis.refreshConfiguration.

Verify that the file is a valid JSON file using the matlab.codeanalysis.validateConfiguration
function.

Sample Configuration File

This code shows the contents of a sample configuration file. The
codeAnalyzerConfiguration.json file uses JSON format, and // designates the text that follows
as a comment.

Configuration File Information

You can optionally include the following properties in the configuration file. These properties do not
affect the configuration. Each property accepts a string containing the relevant information.

• "name" — Name of the configuration file

• "description" — Description of the configuration file
• "author" — Author name
• "schemaVersion" — Schema version in the format "1.2.3"
• "guidelineVersion" — Guideline version in the format "1.2.3"

 Configure Code Analyzer

Base Configuration Settings

A configuration file can inherit the rules of a configuration file contained in the resources folder of a
parent folder. The property "baseConfiguration" specifies what base configuration should be
used and accepts these values:

• "closestParentFolder" (default) — Use the configuration file found in the closest parent
folder. If "baseConfiguration" is not defined, then the "closestParentFolder" setting is
used.
• "factory" — Use the standard MATLAB Code Analyzer configuration.

Add Custom Checks for Existing Functions

You can configure the Code Analyzer to display a check when specific functions are used. To create a
new check, you must assign a check ID that is a valid MATLAB identifier. For example, define
"MyFunctionCheck" to check for an evalin function call.

The "MyFunctionCheck" check has these properties:

Property Name Example Description

"rule" "rule": { "template" : Define the rules for the custom
"functionCall", check. The "rule" field
"functionNames" : contains a JSON array
"evalin" } containing these fields:

• "template" — Define the

template as
"functionCall" so the
message is generated when
the specified functions are
called.
• "functionNames" — Define
the names of the functions
that trigger the custom
check. Specify a string or
string array containing the
function names.
"messageText" (optional) "messageText" : "Do not Specify the text displayed in the
use evalin." Code Analyzer message.
"severity" (optional) "severity" : "error" Specify the check severity as
"warning", "error", or
"info". Messages that have
been changed to "error" do
not prevent execution.
"enabled" (optional) "enabled": true Specify whether this check is
enabled in the MATLAB Editor.

Add Custom Checks for Specified Variable Names

You can configure the Code Analyzer to display a check when specific variable names are used. To
create a new check, you must assign a check ID that is a valid MATLAB identifier. For example, define
"MyVariableCheck" to check for variables with the names size, error, or length.

The "MyVariableCheck" check has these properties:

Property Name Example Description

"rule" "rule": { "template" : Define the rules for the custom
"variableName", check. The "rule" field
"variableNames" : contains a JSON array
["size", "error", containing these fields:
"length"] }
• "template" — Define the
template as
"variableName" so the
message is generated when
the specified variable names
are used.
• "variableNames" — Define
the variable names that
trigger the custom check.
Specify a string or string
array containing the variable
names.
"messageText" (optional) "messageText" : "Avoid Specify the text displayed in the

variables."
"severity" (optional) "severity" : "warning" Specify the check severity as
"warning", "error", or
"info". Messages that have
been changed to "error" do
not prevent execution.
"enabled" (optional) "enabled": true Specify whether this check is
enabled in the MATLAB Editor.

Configure Maximum Input and Output Arguments

You can configure the Code Analyzer to limit the number of input and output arguments for a
function. Use the check ID "FCNIL" to specify the maximum number of input arguments for a
function. Use the check ID "FCNOL" to specify the maximum number of output arguments.

The "FCNIL" and "FCNOL" checks have these properties:

Property Name Example Description

"messageText" (optional) "messageText" : "Too Specify the text displayed in the
many outputs." Code Analyzer message.

not prevent execution.
"limit" (optional) "limit" : 10 Specify the maximum number of
arguments.
"enabled" (optional) "enabled": true Specify whether this check is
enabled in the MATLAB Editor.

Configure Maximum Characters per Line, Lines in a Function, and

Nested Control Statements
You can configure the maximum characters per line, lines in a function, and nested control
statements. Use the check ID "FCNLL" to specify the maximum number of lines of code for a
function. Use the check ID "LLMNC" to specify the maximum number of characters (including
whitespaces) in a line. Use the check ID "MNCSN" to specify the maximum number of control
statements, such as for and if, that can be nested.

The "FCNLL", "LLMNC", and "MNCSN" checks have these properties:

Property Name Example Description

"messageText" (optional) "messageText" : "Too Specify the text displayed in the
many outputs." Code Analyzer message.
"severity" (optional) "severity" : "error" Specify the check severity as
"warning", "error", or
"info". Messages that have
been changed to "error" do
not prevent execution.
"limit" (optional) "limit" : 10 Specify the maximum number of
arguments.
"enabled" (optional) "enabled": true Specify whether this check is
enabled in the MATLAB Editor.

Modify Existing Code Analyzer Checks

You can use the configuration file to modify existing Code Analyzer checks. Use the check ID you
want to modify as the check name. Then, specify the properties you want to modify and their new
values. For example, to disable a check in the editor, specify "enabled" : false.

To identify the check ID for checks in a given file, use codeIssues. For a full list of configurable
checks, see “Index of Code Analyzer Checks” on page 7-27.

“Get and Manage Add-Ons Using the Add-Ons Panel in MATLAB Online” on page 8-4

Add-ons encompass a wide variety of resources, including products, apps, support packages, and
toolboxes. They extend the capabilities of MATLAB with functionality for additional tasks and
applications.

Get Add-Ons

To find and install add-ons, go to the Home tab, and in the Environment section, click the Add-
Ons icon. The Add-On Explorer opens and displays the list of available add-ons.

You must have an active internet connection to get add-ons using the Add-On Explorer.

8-2
 Get and Manage Add-Ons

To find add-ons, use the search bar, or browse through the available categories on the left side of the
Add-On Explorer window. Select an add-on from the list to view additional information about it, such
as what files it includes and what documentation is available.

To install an add-on, select it from the list. Then, select from the available install actions. After you
install an add-on, MATLAB manages the MATLAB path for you. So, you can start using it without
adjusting your desktop environment.

For some add-ons, you also can download the files from the Add-on Explorer without installing them.
This is useful if you want to install the add-on on a system without an internet connection. To
download the add-on without installing, select Install > Download Only.

Install Add-Ons from File

You can install some add-ons manually using an installation file. This is useful in several situations:

• The add-on is not available for installation through the Add-On Explorer, for example, if you create
a custom add-on yourself or receive one from someone else.
• You downloaded the add-on from the Add-On Explorer without installing it.
• You downloaded the add-on from the File Exchange at MATLAB Central™.

Valid add-on installation files include .mltbx files (for toolboxes), .mlappinstall files (for apps),
and .mlpkginstall files (for hardware support packages). To install an add-on from one of these
files, in the MATLAB Current Folder browser, double-click the file. An installer opens to guide you
through the installation process.

Note Make sure to double-click the installation file in the MATLAB Current Folder browser. Double-
clicking to install the add-on from the system file browser is not supported on all operating systems.

You also can install some add-ons programmatically. For more information, see
matlab.addons.install.

Default Add-On Installation Folder

The install location of an add-on depends on its type. MATLAB installs MathWorks products in the
matlabroot folder and hardware support packages in the folder returned by
matlabshared.supportpkg.getSupportPackageRoot. For more information about a specific
support package install location, see the documentation for the package.

MATLAB installs all other add-ons in a default installation folder specific to the platform.

• Windows— C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB Add-Ons

• Linux — ~/MATLAB Add-Ons
• macOS — ~/Library/Application Support/MathWorks/MATLAB Add-Ons
• MATLAB Online — /MATLAB Add-Ons

To change the default installation folder, on the Home tab, in the Environment section, select
Preferences > MATLAB > Add-Ons. Then, in the Installation Folder field, specify a folder name
to which you have write access.

8-3
8 Add-Ons

If you change the default installation folder, add-ons installed in the previously selected folder are no
longer accessible from within MATLAB. Changing the default installation folder or customizing
installed add-ons is not supported in MATLAB Online.

Manage Add-Ons

To view and manage installed add-ons, go to the Home tab and select Add-Ons > Manage Add-
Ons. The Add-On Manager displays all add-ons that are installed in the add-ons installation folder, as
well as MATLAB products and hardware support packages.

To manage an individual add-on, click the Options button to the right of the add-on and select from
the available actions.

View Version

To view the currently enabled version of an add-on if it has multiple versions installed, click the
Options button and select Version. MATLAB displays a check mark next to the currently enabled
version. To enable a different version, click it. For more information about installing multiple versions
of an add-on, see matlab.addons.install.

Enable Add-Ons

You can customize your MATLAB environment by enabling or disabling add-ons. You can disable and
enable most add-ons from the MATLAB user community. Disabling and enabling MathWorks products
and support packages is not supported.

To enable or disable an add-on, click the Options button and select or clear the Enabled option. If
an add-on has multiple versions installed, only one version can be enabled. You also can enable or
disable add-ons using the matlab.addons.enableAddon and matlab.addons.disableAddon
functions.

Update Add-Ons
You can update installed add-ons as well as your current installed version of MATLAB using the Add-
On Manager. On the Home tab, select Help > Check for Updates. The Add-On Manager opens with
the Updates tab selected. View and install any available updates.

Run Apps
An app is a self-contained MATLAB program with a user interface. To view and interact with the user
interface after installing the app, run it. Go to the Apps tab and expand the apps gallery by clicking
the down arrow on the far right. Then, navigate to your installed app and click the icon. Custom
apps that you write or receive from someone else appear in the My Apps section. You can run
multiple custom apps concurrently, including multiple instances of the same app.

Get and Manage Add-Ons Using the Add-Ons Panel in MATLAB Online
In MATLAB Online, you can find, install, and manage add-ons using the Add-Ons panel. To open the
Add-Ons panel if it is not open, click the Add-Ons button in the sidebar on the left side of the

8-4
 Get and Manage Add-Ons

MATLAB Online desktop. Alternatively, go to the Home tab, and in the Environment section, select
Add-Ons > Add-Ons.

To get add-ons, use the search box at the top of the Add-Ons panel to search for available add-ons or
browse through the list of add-ons in the Recommended for You section. Then, to install an add-on,
select it from the list and click the Install button. You also can browse through the full list of
available add-ons using the Add-On Explorer. To open the Add_on Explorer from the Add-Ons panels,
click the Browse for more link at the bottom of the Recommended for You section.

To manage your add-ons, in the Installed section of the Add-Ons panel, click the Options button to

Set Locale and Display Language

In this section...
“Unsupported Locale Settings” on page 9-3
“Supported Character Sets and Encodings” on page 9-3
“Localized Formats in Current Folder Browser” on page 9-3

The locale of a platform defines the display format for information like time, date, and currency. On
macOS and Linux platforms, the locale also defines the language of your user interface. On Windows
platforms, the display language defines the language of your user interface.

Each platform uses different settings to specify locale and display language. MATLAB uses these
platform-specific settings to determine the desktop display language and the display format for
information like time, date, and currency values within the desktop. This table describes which
settings to set for each platform. For supported operating systems, see System Requirements.

Platform Settings
Windows MATLAB uses multiple settings on Windows platforms.

• Windows display language setting — MATLAB uses this setting to

determine the MATLAB desktop display language. If the language that
you want to select does not appear in the Windows display language
list, you might first need to install its language pack. After changing
your display language, log out and then log back into your system for
the changes to take effect.
• Windows user locale and system locale settings — MATLAB uses these
settings to determine the display format within the MATLAB desktop.
After changing these settings, restart your system for the changes to
take effect.

The Windows display language, user locale, and system locale settings
must all have the same value. Otherwise, you might see garbled text or
incorrectly displayed characters. For instructions on how to change these
settings or install a language pack, refer to your Windows operating
system documentation.

MATLAB uses UTF-8 as its default character encoding and its process-
specific system encoding. You can also set the machine-wide system
encoding to UTF-8 using the Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide
language support option. This option must be used on Windows Server
2019 to avoid garbled text. For all other supported versions of Windows,
this option is optional.

9-2
 Set Locale and Display Language

Platform Settings
macOS MATLAB uses the user locale setting on your macOS system to determine
the display language and the display format within the MATLAB desktop.
For instructions on how to change the user locale setting, refer to your
macOS operating system documentation. If the locale that you want to
select is not available, you might first need to install its language pack.

MATLAB automatically chooses a codeset for each combination of language

and region in the locale setting. If you customize the locale setting on your
system, MATLAB ignores the customized portion. MATLAB also ignores the
LANG environment variable and the Terminal application locale setting.
Linux MATLAB uses the LANG environment variable on your Linux system to
determine the display language and the display format within the MATLAB
desktop.

For instructions on how to change the LANG environment variable, refer to

your Linux operating system documentation. If you see garbled text or
incorrectly displayed characters, you might need to install fonts for your
selected locale as well.

Unsupported Locale Settings

MATLAB does not support every locale setting. If the user-specified locale is unsupported, MATLAB
uses the default locale en_US_POSIX.US-ASCII, also known as the C locale.

Supported Character Sets and Encodings

MATLAB uses Unicode® as its internal character set so that it can represent all letters and symbols,
regardless of platform, language, or locale. MATLAB uses UTF-8 as its default character encoding so
that it can represent all Unicode code points in files and byte streams. MATLAB also supports other
character encodings for backward compatibility and interoperability.

Localized Formats in Current Folder Browser

In the Current Folder browser, MATLAB usually uses platform-neutral localized formats and rules.
You can, however, use the operating system short date format to control the format for displaying file
date and time data.

Limitations to International Character Support

MATLAB does not support non 7-bit ASCII characters in the following features:

• MATLAB C/C++ and Fortran engine library functions and the loadlibrary function cannot find
files located in folder names that contain non 7-bit ASCII characters.
• MATLAB C/C++ and Fortran engine library functions and the calllib function used to call C
library functions cannot convert Unicode-compatible input arguments of type char* to MATLAB
character arrays.
• The matlab.wsdl.createWSDLClient function cannot read non 7-bit ASCII characters in Web
Services Description Language (WSDL) documents.

When you have a file containing text that has characters in a different encoding than that of your
platform, when you save or publish your file, MATLAB displays those characters as garbled text.

Characters Incorrectly Displayed on Windows Systems

The Windows display language, user locale, and system locale settings must all have the same value
on Microsoft Windows platforms. If these values are not the same, you might see garbled text or
incorrect characters. For instructions on how to change the Windows display language, user locale,
and system locale settings, refer to your Windows operating system documentation. After changing
these settings, restart your system.

On Windows Server 2019, you must also set the machine-wide system encoding to UTF-8 using the
Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support option to avoid garbled text. For all
other supported versions of Windows, this option is optional.

 Numbers Display Period for Decimal Point for All Locales

Numbers Display Period for Decimal Point for All Locales

MATLAB reads the user locale for all categories except for the numeric category (which is equivalent
with LC_NUMERIC). This category controls numeric data formatting and parsing. MATLAB always sets
LC_NUMERIC to the C locale.

MATLAB uses a period for a decimal point, regardless of the format specified by the user locale. For
example, the value of pi can be displayed as 3,1416 or 3.1416, depending on the format used by a
locale. MATLAB always displays 3.1416.

The MATLAB language reserves the use of commas to the cases described in the Symbol Reference
topic.

Script Compatibility
As of R2020a, plain text files, such as MATLAB scripts or functions, that are encoded using UTF-8
(note that all 7-bit ASCII files are de facto UTF-8 encoded), work seamlessly across all platforms and
all locales. Plain text files created with an earlier version of MATLAB that are not UTF-8 encoded also
work if they were created in the same locale that the current MATLAB is using. Under most
circumstances, MATLAB also operates correctly with plain text files encoded in one of the locale-
specific CJK (Chinese, Japanese, or Korean) encodings.

 Change the MATLAB Desktop Language

Change the MATLAB Desktop Language

MathWorks offers MATLAB translated into Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.

If the locale or display language settings on your system are set to Japanese, Korean, or Chinese, you
can choose whether to display text in your system language or in English. MATLAB desktop items
(such as dialog boxes, button names, and menu items) and error and warning messages appear in the
language that you select.

To change the desktop language:

1 On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences and select MATLAB >
General.
2 Select an option for the Desktop language preference.

If the preference is not visible:

• On Windows systems, check the display language setting. If the language that you want to
select does not appear in the Windows display language list, you might need to install its
language pack. For instructions on how to view the setting or install a language pack, refer to
the documentation for your Windows system.

The Windows display language, user locale, and system locale settings must all have the same
value to avoid garbled text or incorrectly displayed characters. After changing the display
language, log out and then back into your system for the changes to take effect. After
changing the user locale or system locale settings, restart your system for the changes to take
effect.
• On macOS systems, check the user locale setting. If the locale that you want to select is not
available, you might need to install its language pack. For instructions on how to change the

 X Servers and International Keyboard Layouts

X Servers and International Keyboard Layouts

Simulink requires the XKEYBOARD extension to detect the keyboard layout that is currently active.
Some older X servers do not support this extension. If this extension is absent or disabled, then
Simulink assumes a default layout. When the default layout does not match the keyboard layout, some
keys might not produce the expected characters.

Suppose you are using a Linux based computer with a German keyboard. Without the XKEYBOARD
extension, Simulink uses the default layout, which is English, and can therefore produce incorrect
characters. MATLAB correctly recognizes the keyboard as German.

If you encounter this issue, try enabling the XKEYBOARD extension, or use an X server that supports
this extension.

Access Files in Your MATLAB Drive

You can access your MATLAB Drive files and folders in MATLAB Drive online. If MATLAB Connector
is installed, you also can access your MATLAB Drive files and folders on your system.

MATLAB Drive operates like any other folder, with the significant advantage that files can be synced
with any other MATLAB Drive folder, such as in MATLAB Drive online or on another computer that
uses MATLAB Connector.

Access Files in MATLAB Drive Online

You can access your files and folders in MATLAB Drive online.

To open MATLAB Drive online, from your web browser, navigate to MATLAB Drive and sign in with
your MathWorks credentials. Alternatively, if you have MATLAB Connector installed and running,
open the Connector and click the MATLAB Drive online button in the top-right corner of the
window.

default downloads folder. To download multiple files at once, select
the files that you want to download and then click Download.
Downloading multiple folders or a combination of files and folders
at once is not supported.

When you download a folder, MATLAB Drive online saves it as a zip

file. If you attempt to download a large folder and the download
fails, reduce the size of the folder and then try again.

Changes made to downloaded files are not synced to your MATLAB

Drive.
Rename a file or folder To rename a file or folder, select it and then click Rename.
Move a file or folder To move a file or folder, select it and then click Move To. A dialog
box opens and prompts you to select an existing folder or create a
new folder to move the file or folder to. If no selection is made, the
file or folder is moved to the current folder.
Copy a file or folder To copy a file or folder, select it and then click Copy To. A dialog
box opens and prompts you to select an existing folder or create a
new folder to copy the file or folder to. If no selection is made, the

Access Your Files From MATLAB

In the Current Folder browser, select the MATLAB Drive folder. You also can click the MATLAB
Drive button on the Current Folder toolbar.

Clicking the MATLAB Drive button in the Current Folder toolbar also starts MATLAB Connector if it is
installed but not running. If the MATLAB Drive button is not on the Current Folder toolbar, you can
add it by right-clicking the toolbar and selecting Customize. Then, in the MATLAB Toolbar
Preferences Controls section, select Access MATLAB Drive files on this computer and click OK.
MATLAB adds the button to the toolbar.

To open your MATLAB Drive folder programmatically, use the matlabdrive function.

Sync Files with MATLAB Drive

When you edit a file in the MATLAB Drive folder, you are editing a local copy of the file. MATLAB
Drive updates the files in the cloud with the changes you make locally. Because MATLAB Drive stores
a local copy of files on each computer that has MATLAB Connector installed, you can access these
files when offline or when syncing is paused. File syncing resumes when MATLAB Connector is
running and an internet connection is available, or when syncing is resumed.

 Add Files to Your MATLAB Drive

Add Files to Your MATLAB Drive

You can add files to your MATLAB Drive as you would add files to any other folder. In addition, you
can upload images and videos from mobile devices with the Share button through the device OS or
any mobile application that supports uploading images and videos.

When using MathWorks products:

• You can add files created or updated while you are working in MATLAB by setting the Current
Folder browser to your MATLAB Drive.
• You can add files created or updated while you are working in MATLAB Online or MATLAB Mobile
to your MATLAB Drive.

If you have MATLAB Connector installed, files on your local MATLAB Drive and MATLAB Drive online
are automatically synced when the Connector is running. The Connector displays the files that have
been synced under Activity. Updates of files greater than 250 MB can take longer to update.

If you do not have MATLAB Connector installed, you can add folders and files to your MATLAB Drive
using MATLAB Drive online with the Upload button (select Files or Folder) or by dragging and
dropping folders and files from the operating system file browser. For either method, empty folders
are not uploaded.

Note

• File sync requires an internet connection.

• Using source control tools with your local MATLAB Drive folder is not recommended and can
cause unexpected behavior.

Sync Exclusions
Some small system files, temporary files, and folders created by applications are excluded from
syncing. This exclusion includes the following files:

• desktop.ini
• thumbs.db
• .DS_Store
• Icon\r

Also excluded from syncing are items named in any of the following ways:

• File name begins with ~$ (a tilde and a dollar sign), .~ (a dot and a tilde), or ._ (a dot and an
underscore)
• File names that end with ~ (a tilde)
• File names starting with ~ (a tilde) and ending with the extension .tmp.
• Files with the extension .asv, .autosave, or .mlx.bak

 Share Folders Using MATLAB Drive

Share Folders Using MATLAB Drive

You can collaborate with others and allow them to view and edit your files by sharing folders from
MATLAB and MATLAB Drive online. You can share a folder by inviting individual members to have
access to the folder or by sharing a link to the folder.

When you send someone a personal invitation to a shared folder, they can preview it and add it to
their files. They can also edit its contents if you grant them permission to do so. When you send
someone a view-only link, they can preview it and add it to their files, but not edit it. Previewing and
adding shared folders to your files can only be done in MATLAB Drive online and requires a
MathWorks Account.

To share a folder from MATLAB, you must be running MATLAB R2019b or later, MATLAB Connector
must be running, and the folder you choose to share must be in your MATLAB Drive. If you are
working in MATLAB Online, you do not need MATLAB Connector to share folders since sharing is
always enabled.

Note Security Considerations: If a folder contains symbolic links to other folders on your system,
sharing that folder may grant recipients of the shared folder access to other locations on your system.
MATLAB Drive does not create symbolic links, but it does follow existing symbolic links.

Share Folder by Personal Invitation

You can share a folder from MATLAB and MATLAB Drive online by sending a personal invitation.
Sharing a folder by personal invitation allows you to give others both view and edit permission to
your files. To send an invitation:

1 Right-click the folder and select Share > Invite Members. If you have already shared the folder
by personal invitation, select Manage Members instead. In MATLAB Drive online, you also can
click the Share button and select from the available options.

In MATLAB Online, you also can select the Preview button to the right of the folder, and in the
Share section, select from the available options.

2 In the Invite section of the invitation, enter the email addresses of the people that you want to
share this folder with. To share the folder with multiple people, enter multiple email addresses
separated by semicolons or commas.

If you have previously shared a folder with others, you also can select from the list of people that
you have recently and frequently shared with. Only people who have previously accepted an
invitation from you are included in the list. To filter the list of suggestions, enter the first name,
last name, or email address of the person you want to share with.

12-15
12 MATLAB Drive

3 Select Can View to share the folder as a read-only folder or Can Edit to allow invited members
to edit its contents. If you want to share the folder with multiple people using different
permissions, send each invitation separately.
4 Optionally, enter a message to include with the invitation.
5 Click Send. MATLAB Drive sends an email to the people you have invited.

Change Member Permission

Once you personally invite someone to share a folder, you can change their folder permissions from
MATLAB and MATLAB Drive online. For example, if you invite someone to share a folder as a read-
only folder, you can change their permissions to allow them to edit its contents.

To change the folder permissions for an invited member, right-click the shared folder and select
Share > Manage Members. In the Shared With section, next to the address of the invited member,
select a different folder permission. Then, click Save to update the permissions.

In MATLAB Drive online, you also can click the Share button and select Manage Members. In
MATLAB Online, you also can select the Preview button to the right of the folder, and in the Share
section, select Manage Members.

12-16
 Share Folders Using MATLAB Drive

Revoke Personal Invitations

Share Folder With View-Only Link

You also can share a folder from MATLAB and MATLAB Drive online by creating and distributing a
view-only link to the folder. Sharing a folder using a view-only link gives others view permissions to
your files. To create and distribute a view-only link to a folder:
1 Right-click the folder and select Share > Create Link. Click Create a view-only link to create
the link. If you have already created a view-only link for the folder, select Manage Link instead.
In MATLAB Drive online, you also can click the Share button and select from the available
options.

In MATLAB Online, you also can select the Preview button to the right of the folder, and in the
Share section, select from the available options.

12-17
12 MATLAB Drive

2 Click Copy Link to copy the link to the clipboard.

3 Distribute the link to others, for example, by including it in an email.

Remove Shared Link

To remove access to a shared folder from a view-only link, right-click the shared folder and select
Share > Manage Link. Click Delete Link and confirm the deletion by clicking Delete.

In MATLAB Drive online, you also can click the Share button and select Manage Link. In MATLAB
Online, you also can select the Preview button to the right of the folder, and in the Share section,
select Manage Link.

Members who gained access to the folder using the link will no longer have access to it, and anyone
who tries to use the link in the future gets an error. Deleting the link does not cause any change in
access to those who received a personal invitation to the shared folder. To change their access, see
“Change Member Permission” on page 12-16.

Access Folders Shared with You

You can get access to a shared folder by receiving either a personal invitation or a view-only link.
When you receive an invitation or a link, you can preview the contents of the shared folder. Then, to
view and open the contents of the folder, and to edit them if permitted, add the folder to your files.

When you are personally invited to a shared folder, you receive an email with a link to the invitation.
Click View Folder in the invitation to open the pending invitation in MATLAB Drive online.

To view all of your pending invitations in MATLAB Drive online, click Shared Content on the left side
of the page.

When the invitation opens, MATLAB Drive online displays a preview of the shared folder. You can
navigate the structure of the shared folder and preview individual files. You must be logged in with
your MathWorks account to preview the folder. To view and open the contents of the folder, and to
edit them if permitted, add the folder to your files.

Preview Folder Shared by View-Only Link

When you receive a view-only link to a shared folder, open the link to preview it in MATLAB Drive
online. When the preview opens, you can navigate the structure of the folder and preview individual
files. Previewing a folder shared by link does not require a MathWorks account. To view and open the
contents of the folder, add it to your files.

12-19
12 MATLAB Drive

You can also forward the link to others. To get a new copy of the link, click Share Link. In the
Share by Link dialog box, click Copy Link to copy the link to the clipboard.

Add Shared Folder to Your Files

To view and open the contents of a folder shared with you, and to edit them if permitted, add the
folder to your files. You can add a folder to your files either by creating a shortcut to the shared
folder, or by creating a copy of the shared folder that is only visible and accessible to you.

To create a shortcut to the shared folder, in the MATLAB Drive online folder preview, click the
Add to my Files button and select Add
Shortcut. To create a copy of the shared folder that is only visible and accessible to you, click the
Add to my Files button and select
Copy Folder. MATLAB Drive adds the folder to your files and opens the Files view. You must be
logged in with your MathWorks account to add a shared folder to your files.

If you have MATLAB Connector installed, the Connector syncs the contents of the added shared
folder to your local drive.

Manage Shared Folder

If you have edit permissions to a shared folder, you can edit its contents, as well as move, rename,
and delete the folder itself.

12-20
 Share Folders Using MATLAB Drive

MATLAB Online and MATLAB Drive online indicate shared folders using the shared folder icon . If
you have MATLAB Connector installed, the Connector indicates shared files in the Activity section by
displaying SHARED below the file name. If you do not have edit permissions for the shared file, the
Connector displays a padlock icon .

Edit Shared Folder

If you have edit permissions to a shared folder, you can edit the contents of the files and folders
within that folder. You can edit the files in MATLAB Online, or, if you have MATLAB Connector
installed, you can edit the files on your local drive. As you and other members of the folder make
changes, the Connector keeps the shared folder on your local drive up-to-date.

Warning It is possible that other participants with edit permissions are also editing the same files as
you are. If this occurs, the most recently saved copy overwrites any other saved copies.

You cannot edit a shared file if you do not have edit permissions for the shared folder. If you do not
have edit permissions for a shared file, MATLAB Connector displays a padlock icon below the file
name in the Activity section.

Move or Rename Shared Folder

You can move a shared folder to a new location within your MATLAB Drive. If you have edit
permissions to a shared folder, you also can move or rename its contents. You can move or rename
the folder in MATLAB Drive online and, if you have edit permissions to the folder, from MATLAB.

If you move or rename a shared folder:

• The folder is moved or renamed only for you.

• Others with access to the shared folder do not see the changes. This is true even if you are the
owner of the shared folder.

If you have edit permissions for a shared folder, you can move or rename content inside it. When you
move or rename content inside a shared folder, the moved or renamed content is moved or renamed
for all members of the folder.

12-21
12 MATLAB Drive

Note If you move one shared folder into another, the one that you move takes on the permissions of
its new parent. For example, if a member can edit the parent folder, they can now edit the folder that
you move into it.

Delete Shared Folder

You can delete a shared folder in your MATLAB Drive. If you have edit permissions to a shared folder,
you can also can delete its contents. You can delete the folder from MATLAB Drive online and, if you
have edit permissions to the folder, from MATLAB.

If you delete a shared folder:

• MATLAB Drive deletes the folder and its contents only from your MATLAB Drive.
• All others with access to the folder, whether by personal invitation or view-only link, continue to
have access to it.
• The folder no longer counts towards your storage quota.

If you have edit permissions for a shared folder, you can delete content inside it. When you delete
content inside a shared folder:

• MATLAB Drive deletes the content from your MATLAB Drive and for all other members of the
folder.
• The content no longer counts towards your storage quota.

Permanently Delete Shared Folder

When you delete a shared folder or its contents, MATLAB Drive moves the deleted items to your
Deleted Files folder. You then can choose to permanently delete those items from your MATLAB
Drive.

Note MATLAB Drive permanently deletes content (including shared folders) in your Deleted Files
folder after 30 days or if your Deleted Files folder is over the deleted files storage quota.

If you permanently delete a shared folder from your Deleted Files folder:

• The folder and its contents are permanently deleted only from your MATLAB Drive.
• All others with access to the folder continue to have access to it.
• If you are the owner of the shared folder, then the folder becomes ownerless. When a folder is
ownerless, no new members can gain access to the folder, whether by personal invitation or view-
only link. In addition, MATLAB Drive deletes all pending invitations to access the folder.

If you permanently delete content from a shared folder:

• The content is permanently deleted from your MATLAB Drive and for all members of the folder.

You cannot permanently delete content from a shared folder that has active members with edit
permissions to the folder.

12-22
 Share Folders Using MATLAB Drive

Sharing Limitations
There are limits on how many folders you can share, how many people you can share each folder
with, and how much data your MATLAB Drive can hold.

User Sharing Limitations

You can have up to 100 shared folders in your MATLAB Drive. This total includes folders shared by
you (regardless of whether others have accepted your invitation) and folders shared by others that
you have added to your files. Sub-folders in shared folders are not included in this limit.

If you reach the limit of 100 shared folders:

• You cannot share additional folders.

• You cannot add additional shared folders to your files.
• If you receive an invitation to access a shared folder, you can preview the files but you cannot add
a shortcut to the folder to your files. You can, however, create an unshared copy of the folder and
add it to your files. To create an unshared copy of the folder, in MATLAB Drive online, select the
folder, click the Add to my Files
button, and select Copy Folder.

Folder Sharing Limitations

The number of people that you can share a folder with depends on whether you have an eligible
MATLAB license that is current on Software Maintenance Service.

If you have an eligible MATLAB license:

• You can share a folder with 1,000 people using a view-only link and with an additional 100 people
using a personal invitation.

If you do not have an eligible MATLAB license:

• You can share a folder with 10 people using a view-only link and with an additional 10 people
using a personal invitation.

After you have reached your limit for personal invitations you cannot invite others to share that
folder. If a member leaves the shared folder or declines the invitation to access the shared folder,
then you can send additional invitations.

When sharing a folder using a view-only link, when the number of people accessing the link reaches
the folder maximum, others who try to use that link cannot access the folder.

Storage Quota Limitations

When you add a shared folder to your files, the content of that shared folder is included as part of
your total storage allotment, regardless of whether you have edit or read-only permissions to the
folder. If a member of the folder adds or deletes content, your storage allotment updates accordingly.

If you exceed your maximum storage allotment:

• Others with edit permissions can add content to your shared folders, but you cannot.

12-23
12 MATLAB Drive

• You cannot add additional folders to your files or create new invitations or shared links to a folder.

Restore Deleted Files in MATLAB Drive Online

The Deleted Files folder on MATLAB Drive online holds content that you have deleted from MATLAB
Drive.

To restore content, select the file or folder in Deleted Files, and click Restore.

You can restore content in the Deleted Files folder under the following conditions:

• The file or folder to restore has been in the Deleted Files folder for less than 30 days. (After 30
days or if your Deleted Files has gone over storage quota, content is permanently deleted.)
• You did not permanently delete the content from the Deleted Files folder.
• You have the available storage space in your MATLAB Drive for the restored content.
• You restore an exact item that you deleted. For example, if you deleted an entire folder, you cannot
restore only a single file from that folder — you must restore the entire folder.

Items restored from the Deleted Files folder are returned to their original folder locations.

Post-Installation Tasks
13 Post-Installation Tasks

Configure the MATLAB Startup Accelerator

When you install MathWorks products on your computer, the installation includes a utility program
that can speed up MATLAB startup, called the MATLAB Startup Accelerator. By default, the installer
configures this utility as a scheduled task on your computer that runs several times each day.

While you are not required to modify this configuration, the startup accelerator works best if you
coordinate when it runs with your particular MATLAB usage patterns. For example, by default, the
startup accelerator runs at 8:00 a.m. and again at 1:00 p.m. every day, or whenever you log on to
your computer. To take full advantage of the startup accelerator, schedule it to run at a time just
before you typically start MATLAB.

To modify this configuration, use the Windows Task Scheduler. In the Windows Task Scheduler, these
start times are called triggers. You can modify these triggers to customize when the startup
accelerator runs. You can also add triggers, delete triggers, or delete the startup accelerator task
completely. The following section shows how to change when the startup accelerator runs using the
Windows Task Scheduler. For more information about the Task Scheduler, see Windows
documentation.

Change When the MATLAB Startup Accelerator Runs

To change when the MATLAB Startup Accelerator runs on your computer, use the Windows Task
Scheduler.

1 Start the Windows Task Scheduler.

On the Windows Start menu, search for the phrase “task scheduler” and press Enter.
2 Click Task Scheduler Library in the Console tree to view scheduled tasks and double-click the
name of the startup accelerator to change the configuration.

14 New Desktop for MATLAB (Beta)

Get Started with the New Desktop for MATLAB (Beta)

The new desktop for MATLAB includes new and updated features, such as:

• Dark theme support

• An updated layout
• A new figure window experience
• Expanded search capabilities
• A new plain text file format for live scripts
• A new Debugger panel and Source Control panel
• Enhanced workflows for MATLAB projects
• Improved screen reader support
• Extension points

To try these features, download and install the New Desktop for MATLAB (Beta) add-on from File
Exchange.

Note The new desktop for MATLAB is in beta development and should not be used for development
or production activities. Report all feedback and issues directly to the development team by clicking
the Feedback button directly above the MATLAB Toolstrip.

Dark Theme Support

Change the colors of the MATLAB desktop by using themes. For example, to select a dark theme, go
to the Home tab, and in the Environment section, click Preferences. Select MATLAB >
Appearance and set the Theme to Dark.

14-2
 Get Started with the New Desktop for MATLAB (Beta)

By default, the colors of figures and apps automatically update to match the selected MATLAB
desktop theme. Starting in R2024a, you can override the desktop theme for an individual figure. To
override the desktop theme of a figure, in the Figures toolstrip, go to the Format tab and select a
theme. You also can change the figure theme programmatically by calling the theme function or
setting the Theme property of the figure to "light" or "dark". For example, this code shows two
ways to set the theme for the figure f to light, regardless of the current desktop theme.

f = figure;
theme(f,"light");
f.Theme = "light";

To override the desktop theme for all figures, in the MATLAB Appearance Preferences page of the
Preferences window, use the Figure Theme option. For example, to display all figures with a light
theme, set the Figure Theme option to Light.

To select the theme for all figures, set the GraphicsTheme setting to "light" or "dark". For
example:

s = settings;
s.matlab.appearance.figure.GraphicsTheme.TemporaryValue = "light";

Updated Desktop Layout

The updated desktop layout includes sidebars on either side and on the bottom of the desktop to
access desktop tools and change the desktop layout. Each sidebar shows the tools, such as the

14-3
14 New Desktop for MATLAB (Beta)

Workspace panel, Files panel, and Command Window, that are docked in that area of the desktop. If
there are no tools docked in an area of the desktop, the sidebar for that area is hidden.

You can use the sidebars to show and hide tools, group tools together, move tools from one location to
another, and open tools that are not in any of the sidebars.

• Show or hide tool — Click the tool icon in the sidebar.

• Group tools together — Drag one tool icon next to another tool icon.
• Move tool to different location on desktop — Drag the tool or tool icon to the new location.

Enhanced Figure Window Capabilities

Explore data in the figures you create by using an enhanced set of figure tools and capabilities. When
you create a figure by calling the figure function or by creating graphics, the figure appears larger
and wider to better display your data. You can then use figure tools to interact with, customize, and
compare the figures you create.

For example, you can use the enhanced figure capabilities to:

• Format figure content interactively — Edit your figure content by using the new Figures toolstrip.
You can use the toolstrip to change text styles and line styles, as well as add items such as titles,
labels, legends, grid lines, arrows, and shapes. To change styles or add an item, select a figure, go
to its Figure or Format tab, and select from the available options.

• Reproduce figure changes — As you interactively change a figure, MATLAB generates code that
represents the changes. You can use this code to reproduce the modified figure. In the Figure tab
of the toolstrip, select Show Code and in the Generated Code panel under the figure, use the
Copy all code button to copy the generated code.
• View all figures and tools in a single area — Independent figures created with the default size and
window state appear as tabs in a single tabbed figure window. You can use the tabs to quickly find
and navigate to a specific figure. In addition, tools to modify the figure (such as the Figures
toolstrip, the Property Inspector, and the Generated Code panel) appear as part of the same
window.
• Compare and arrange figures — View multiple figures at the same time by tiling figures in the
tabbed figure window. Drag tabs to tile figures interactively.

Expanded Search Capabilities

Use the Search box in the top-right corner of the desktop to easily access toolstrip actions,
preferences, and Help Center resources, such as functions, blocks, examples, and answers.

For example, to create a function, type the word function in the Search box. In the list of results,
select the New - Function toolstrip action. MATLAB creates a file containing a basic function
template and opens it in the Editor.

New Plain Text File Format for Live Scripts

Starting in R2024b, you can save live scripts and functions using a plain text file format (.m). Live
scripts saved using the plain text file format behave just like other live scripts. They open in the Live
Editor and can contain code, output, and formatted text. They also can include interactive controls
and tasks.

Note This new file format is available only as part of the new desktop for MATLAB.

14-6
 Get Started with the New Desktop for MATLAB (Beta)

The Live Editor uses custom markup to save formatted text, generated output, interactive controls,
and tasks as plain text. The Live Editor saves the custom markup alongside the code and saves any
additional essential data at the bottom of the file.

There are several benefits to saving live scripts using the plain text file format:

• Files open in external code editor — You can open live scripts saved using the plain text file format
in any external text or code editor that supports plain text files.
• Increased transparency — Files saved using the plain text file format do not trigger security
concerns. One exception might be if the live script contains images and plots, which are saved as
Base64 (ASCII-binary) strings in the plain text file.
• Improved integration with source control — You can use external source control tools to compare
and merge live scripts saved using the plain text file format.

To save an existing live script as a new live script using the plain text file format (.m):
1 On the Live Editor tab, in the File section, select Save > Save As.
2 In the dialog box that appears, select MATLAB Code File (*.m) as the Save as type.
3 Enter a filename. To avoid conflicts when running, use a different filename than the original file.
4 Click Save.

To create new live scripts as plain text files by default, go to the Home tab, and in the Environment
section, click Preferences. Select MATLAB > Editor/Debugger and in the Live script format
section, set the Default live script file format to M.

Known Issues and Limitations

• Some external source control tools have limitations around file size that might prevent the
comparison of live scripts saved using the plain text file format. For the best results, try using
GitHub® Desktop or Visual Studio Code. You also can reduce file size by clearing all output before
submitting your files to source control.
• The help and doc functions might display unexpected content for live functions saved using the
plain text file format.
• When comparing two live scripts or functions saved using the plain text file format, the
Comparison Tool compares the files as plain text files instead of live scripts or functions.

14-7
14 New Desktop for MATLAB (Beta)

• Some programmatic functionality might be unavailable for live scripts and functions saved using
the plain text file format.

Debugger Panel
Use the Debugger panel to manage breakpoints and navigate the function call stack while debugging.
By default, the Debugger panel opens automatically when MATLAB enters debug mode. To open the
Debugger panel manually, go to the Editor or Live Editor tab, and in the Analyze section, click
Debugger. Alternatively, you can open the panel using the Open more panels button ( ) in a
sidebar.

The Breakpoints section in the panel lists the breakpoints in all MATLAB code files. The first four
breakpoints in the section (Pause on Errors, Pause on Warnings, Pause on NaN or Inf, and
Pause on Unsuppressed Output) are error breakpoints. When you enable one of these breakpoints,
MATLAB pauses at any line in any file if the specified error condition occurs. The remaining
breakpoints are grouped by file.

The Function call stack section shows the list of functions MATLAB executed before pausing at the
current line. The functions display in order, with the current script or function in which MATLAB is
paused at the top of the list, and the first called script or function at the bottom of the list. For each
function in the function call stack, there is a corresponding workspace. To view the workspace for a
function in the function call stack, select that function in the list.

Source Control Panel

Use the Source Control panel to see all active source control repositories, manage modified files, and
perform source control operations. To open the Source Control panel, use the Open more panels
button ( ) in a sidebar.

Use a screen reader and a keyboard to interact with the Command Window, create and edit scripts
and functions in the Editor, and navigate through the different areas of the MATLAB desktop. For
more information, see Accessibility in MATLAB on page 2-23.

Extension Points
Extend various functionalities of the MATLAB desktop using extension points. For example, you can
use extension points to add items to the Files panel context menu or to the quick access toolbar. To
use extension points, create a JSON-formatted file named extensions.json and add a set of JSON
declarations to the file. Then, to enable your customizations, add extensions.json to the path.

For example, this extensions.json file uses the mw.desktop.quickAccess extension point to
add an item to the quick access toolbar and the mw.desktop.fileBrowser.contextMenu
extension point to add an item to the Files panel context menu.
{
"mw.desktop.quickAccess": {
"items": [
{
"name": "openCustomFunction",
"type": "PushButton",
"text": "Open Custom Function",

including the Type column and file preview.
• mw.fileTypes.filenameValidation — Add name validation for a file type.
• mw.fileTypes.groups — Create groups of file types to customize.

Note Extension points are available only as part of the new desktop for MATLAB. The new desktop
for MATLAB is in beta development and should not be used for development or production activities.
For more information, see “Get Started with the New Desktop for MATLAB (Beta)” on page 14-2.

Get Started with Using Extension Points

To use extension points, create a JSON-formatted file named extensions.json and add a set of
JSON declarations to the file. Then, to enable your customizations, add extensions.json to the
path.

For example, this extensions.json file uses the mw.desktop.quickAccess extension point to
add an item to the quick access toolbar and the mw.desktop.fileBrowser.contextMenu
extension point to add an item to the Files panel context menu.
{
"mw.desktop.quickAccess": {
"items": [
{
"name": "openCustomFunction",
"type": "PushButton",
"text": "Open Custom Function",
"description": "Open my custom function",
"icon": "./open_16.png",
"command": "openMyFunction"
}]
},
"mw.desktop.fileBrowser.contextMenu": {
"customSection": {
"items": [
{
"name": "displayAttributes",
"type": "MenuItem",

"text": "Display File Attributes",

"description": "Tooltip hover information",
"icon": "./icons/Display_16.png",
"command": "displayFileAttributes"
}]
}
}
}

Create extensions.json

To start extending MATLAB, create a JSON-formatted file named extensions.json and place it in a
folder named resources. You can create more than one extensions.json file, as long as they are
in different resources folders.

Add JSON Declarations

For each extension point that you want to use, add a set of JSON declarations to the
extensions.json file.

The extensions.json file should contain a single top-level JSON object. MATLAB extension points
are organized by category in a tree-based hierarchy under the top-level namespace, mw.

JSON uses braces to define objects and refers to objects as collections of name and value pairs.
Because these terms are overloaded in context of MATLAB, this documentation uses the term
"property" instead of "name." JSON uses brackets to define arrays.

Create-User Defined MATLAB Function

Some extension point properties call user-defined MATLAB functions to perform an action. When
creating these functions, specify the required input arguments and no output arguments. Place your
function in a folder on the MATLAB path to make it available.

Enable Your Customizations

After you are done creating the extensions.json file, to enable your customizations, add the folder
containing the resources folder and extensions.json to the MATLAB path. To add the folder to
the path, use the addpath function or right-click the folder in the Files panel and select Add to Path
> Selected Folders and Subfolders.

Add Items to Files Panel Context Menu

You can add your own custom items to the Files panel context menu using the
mw.desktop.fileBrowser.contextMenu extension point.

For each custom item that you want add to the Files panel context menu, define an object within the
items array of the mw.desktop.fileBrowser.contextMenu extension point. When adding
multiple custom items, separate each object with a comma.

For example, this extensions.json file contains a set of JSON declarations that adds an item to the
Files panel context menu.

{
"mw.desktop.fileBrowser.contextMenu": {
"customSection": {

14-14
 Extend MATLAB Using Extension Points (Beta)

"items": [
{
"name": "displayAttributes",
"type": "MenuItem",
"text": "Display File Attributes",
"icon": "./icons/Display_16.png",
"command": "displayFileAttributes"
}]
}
}
}

Create-User Defined MATLAB Function

To perform an action when a custom item in the Files panel context menu is selected, create a
function that performs the intended action. Then specify the function name as the value of the
command property. Place the function in a folder on the MATLAB path to make it available.

For example, create the function displayFileAttributes, which is referenced by the command
property in the JSON file. MATLAB calls this function when you select the custom
displayAttributes item in the Files panel context menu. When called, the function displays the
file attributes for each selected file in the Files panel.

function displayFileAttributes(selectedFilePaths)
numfiles = length(selectedFilePaths);
for i = 1:numfiles
disp("File attributes for '" + selectedFilePaths(i) + "'")
fileattrib(selectedFilePaths(i))
end
end

Enable Your Customizations

To enable your customizations, add the folder containing the resources folder and the
extensions.json file to the path. When the folder is added to the path, a new menu item appears
in the Files panel context menu.

14-15
14 New Desktop for MATLAB (Beta)

When you select the new menu item, MATLAB displays the file attributes for the selected files in the
Files panel within the Command Window.

File attributes for 'C:\MyWork\stat.m'

Name: 'C:\MyWork\stat.m'
archive: 1
system: 0
hidden: 0
directory: 0
UserRead: 1
UserWrite: 1
UserExecute: 1
GroupRead: NaN
GroupWrite: NaN
GroupExecute: NaN
OtherRead: NaN
OtherWrite: NaN
OtherExecute: NaN

Add Items to Quick Access Toolbar

You can add your own custom items to the quick access toolbar using the
mw.desktop.quickAccess extension point.

For each custom item that you want add to the quick access toolbar, define an object within the
items array of the mw.desktop.quickAccess extension point. When adding multiple custom items,
separate each object with a comma.

14-16
 Extend MATLAB Using Extension Points (Beta)

For example, this extensions.json file uses the mw.desktop.quickAccess extension point to
add a push button to the quick access toolbar.
{
"mw.desktop.quickAccess": {
"items": [
{
"name": "openCustomFunction",
"type": "PushButton",
"text": "Open Custom Function",
"description": "Open my custom function",
"icon": "./icons/Open_16.png",
"command": "openMyFunction"
}]
}
}

Create User-Defined MATLAB Function

To perform an action when a custom item in the quick access toolbar is clicked or selected, create a
function that performs the intended action. Then specify the function name as the value of the
command property. Place the function in a folder on the MATLAB path to make it available.

For example, create the function openMyFunction, which is referenced by the command property in
the JSON file. MATLAB calls this function when you click the custom openCustomFunction button
in the quick access toolbar. When called, the function prints a message in the Command Window and
opens myWorkingFile.m in the Editor.
function openMyFunction
disp("Opening 'myWorkingFile.m' in the Editor...")
edit myWorkingFile.m
end

Enable Your Customizations

To enable your customizations, add the folder containing the resources folder and the
extensions.json file to the path. When the folder is added to the path, a new button appears in the
quick access toolbar.

When you click the button, the openMyFunction function is called .openMyFunction opens the file
myWorkingFile.m in the Editor and prints this text to the Command Window:
Opening 'myWorkingFile.m' in the Editor...

Customize How Files Display in MATLAB

You can customize how to display file types in MATLAB using extension points.

14-17
14 New Desktop for MATLAB (Beta)

Specify Icon and Label

You can customize the icon and label for file types in MATLAB. For each file type that you want to
customize, define an object within the mw.fileTypes.icons and mw.fileTypes.labels
extension points. To specify an icon, specify the object name as the extension of the file type and the
object value as the path to the icon. To specify a label, specify the object name as the extension of the
file type, and the object value as the label text. When adding icons and labels for multiple file types,
separate each object with a comma.

For example, this set of JSON declarations adds a custom icon and label for markdown files (.md) and
SVG files (.svg).
{
"mw.fileTypes.icons": {
"md": "./documentList.svg",
"svg": "./images.svg"
},
"mw.fileTypes.labels": {
"md": "Markdown Documentation File",
"svg": "Support Vector Graphics"
}
}

For more information, see mw.fileTypes.icons and mw.fileTypes.labels.

Specify Filename Validation

You can add filename validation for file types. For each file type, define an object within the
mw.fileTypes.filenameValidation extension point. When adding filename validation for
multiple file types, separate each object with a comma.

Within each file type object, define one or more errorRegexPatterns or warningRegexPatterns
objects, separating each object with a comma. Include an errorRegexPatterns or
warningRegexPatterns object for each pattern that you want to validate for. Then, for each
errorRegexPatterns and warningRegexPatterns object, specify a pattern to valid against, any
validation flags, and the error or warning message to display.

For example, this set of JSON declarations adds filename validation for markdown files (.md) to check
whether the name of a markdown file is not empty or too long when the file is created or renamed.
{
"mw.fileTypes.filenameValidation": {
"md": {
"errorRegexPatterns": [{
"pattern": "/^.+$/;",
"flags": "ig",
"errorLabel": "Filename must not be empty"
}],
"warningRegexPatterns": [{
{
"pattern": "/^.{0,125}$",
"flags": "ig",
"warningLabel": "Filename is too long"
}]
}
}
}

14-18
 Extend MATLAB Using Extension Points (Beta)

For more information, see mw.fileTypes.filenameValidation.

Create Groups of File Types

You can create groups of file types in MATLAB using the mw.fileTypes.groups extension point.
Creating groups allows you to customize multiple file types at the same time.

To create a group of file types, define an object within the mw.fileTypes.groups extension point.
Specify the object name as the name of the group that you want to create and the object value as an
array of file type extensions that you want to include in your group. When creating multiple groups,
separate each object with a comma. Then, to use the group to customize multiple file types at the
same time, specify groups.groupname instead of a file type extension.

For example, this set of JSON declarations creates a group for markdown files (.md) and SVG files
(.svg), and then customizes the icon and label for the group.
{
"mw.fileTypes.groups": {
"myfiletype": ["md", "svg"]
},
"mw.fileTypes.icons": {
"groups.myfiletype": "./images.svg"
},
"mw.fileTypes.labels": {
"groups.myfiletype": "My file types"
}
}

For more information, see mw.fileTypes.groups.

Enable Your File Type Customizations

To enable your file type customizations, add the folder containing the resources folder and the
extensions.json file to the path. When the folder is added to the path, files with a .md or .svg
extension appear in the Files panel with the icon and label specified in extensions.json. If the
Type column is not visible in the Files panel, go to the top-right corner of the panel, click the Files
actions button , and select Show > Type.
