Startup Folder for the MATLAB Program
What Is the Startup Folder?
The startup folder is the current folder in the MATLAB application when it starts. It is convenient if you make the current folder upon startup be a folder that you frequently use. On Windows and Apple Macintosh platforms, a folder called userpath is added automatically to the search path upon startup, and is the default startup folder. On UNIX[1] platforms, you can set the userpath as the startup folder. The default value for userpath is, for example, Documents/MATLAB on Microsoft Windows Vistaâ„¢ platforms. You can specify a different default value for userpath, or specify a different startup folder. Read More

Toolbox Path Caching in the MATLAB Program
About Toolbox Path Caching in the MATLAB Program
For performance reasons, the MATLAB program caches toolbox folder information across sessions. The caching features are mostly transparent to you. However, if MATLAB does not see the latest versions of your M-files or if you receive warnings about the toolbox path cache, you might need to update the cache. Read More

MATLAB GUI (Graphical User Interface) Tutorial for Beginners
[help]Why use a GUI in MATLAB?[/help] The main reason GUIs are used is because it makes things simple for the end-users of the program. If GUIs were not used, people would have to work from the command line interface, which can be extremely difficult and fustrating. Imagine if you had to input text commands to operate your web browser (yes, your web browser is a GUI too!).
It wouldn?t be very practical would it? In this tutorial, we will create a simple GUI that will add together two numbers, displaying the answer in a designated text field.
This tutorial is written for those with little or no experience creating a MATLAB GUI (Graphical User Interface). Basic knowledge of MATLAB is not required, but recommended. MATLAB version 2007a is used in writing this tutorial. Both earlier versions and new versions should be compatible as well (as long as it isn’t too outdated). Lets get started! Read More
Creating m-files in Matlab
Open an edit window where we can write the command lines. Click on the white sheet in the menu under File or simply write edit in the command window. Alternatively File->New ->M-file. The following is written in the edit window: Read More
