Chapter I: MATLAB Basics 12 Chapter 1: MATLAB Basics 13 By clicking MATLAB\general, we have the Help Window illustrated in Figure 1.1 1 and a complete description is given as well. Figure I. 1 1. Help Window Chapter I: MATLAB Basics 14 Chapter 1: MATLAB Basics 15 the MATLAB Help Window is displayed for all MATLAB versions. For example, for MATLAB 6.1, see Figure 1.12. Chapter 1: MATLAB Basics 16 Figure 1.12. MATLAB 6.1 helpde s k window The complete MATLAB documentation is available for users. In general, the use of the help and demo commands is the simplest way to find the needed information. Typing and pressing the Enter key guides us into the MATLAB Demos Window as illustrated in Figure 1.13 for MATLAB 6.5 and 6.1. Chapter 1: MATLAB Basics Figure 1.13. MATLAB 6.5 and 6.1 Demos Windows 17 Chapter I: MATLAB Basics 18 A list of topics which have demonstrations appears in the left-hand window, while the information on these topics appears in the upper right-hand window. In order to expand a topic in the left window, double-click on it and subtopics will appear below. When the user clicks on one of these, a list of possible demonstrations to run in the lower right-hand window appears. The button below this window changes to run demonstration. Choosing the subtopics (Matrices, Numerics, Visualization, Language/Graphics, Gallery, Games, Miscellaneous and To learn more), different topics will be explained and thoroughly covered. For example, clicking the subtopic Matrices, we have the Matrices MATLAB Demos (demonstrations) Window, as documented in Figure 1.14. Figure 1.14. Matrices MATLAB 6.1 Demos Window By double clicking Basic matrix operations, Inverse of matrices, Graphs and matrices, Sparse matrices, Matrix multiplication, Eigenvalues and singular value show, and Command line demos, illustrative example are available to demonstrate, examine, and explore different problems. Newest MATLAB releases provide the user with the full capabilities of the MATLAB environment. As illustrated, MATLAB 6.5 integrates Communication, Control System, Curve Fitting, Data Acquisition, Database, Filter Design, Financial, Fuzzy Logic, Image Processing, Instrument Control, LMI, Mapping, Model Predictive Control, Mu- Analysis and Synthesis, Neural Network, Optimization, Partial Differential Equations, Robust Control, Signal Processing, Spline, Statistics, Symbolic Math, System Identification, Virtual Reality, and Wavelet Toolboxes, as well as SIMULINK and Blocksets environments and libraries. The demonstration capabilities of MATLAB 6.5 were significantly enhanced, and Figures 1.15 and 1.16 illustrate the application of the MATLAB environment and SIMULINK to perform simulations for the F-14 and three-degrees-of-freedom guided missile models. Chapter 1: MATLAB Basics Figure 1.15. MAT LA^ 6.5 Demos Window running F-14 flight control simulation 19 Chapter I: MATLAB Basics 20 Figure 1.16. MATLAB 6.5 Demos Window running three-degrees-of-freedom guided missile simulation with animation in SIMULINK The M-file EditodDebugger enables one to view, develop, edit, and debug MATLAB programs. Using the menu, the user can select a code segment for evaluation in the Command Window. Many MATLAB routines are developed and supplied as readable m-files, allowing one to examine the source code, learn from it, and modify it for specific applications and problems. New functions can be written and added, and links to external software and data sources can be created. Access to History is performed through the Command History tool in order to maintain a running record of all commands that the user has executed in the MATLAB Command Window. The user can refer back to these commands and execute code directly from the Command History menu. Access to Files is performed through the Current Directory window and allows one to select a directory to work in. The user can browse, run, and modify files in the directory. Access to Data is performed through the Workspace Browser, allowing one to view the variables in the MATLAB workspace as well as access the Array Editor to view and edit data. The commonly used toolboxes are Statistics, Symbolic Math, Partial Differential Equations, etc. An incomplete list of toolboxes, including the application-specific toolboxes, is as follows (see htte://w~~~~.matl~worlis.coin~ac~css~ielpdesk~help Itelpdesk.shtm1 for details): Chapter I: MATLAB Basics 21 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

The user can practice examples to quickly learn how to efficiently use MATLAB to solve a wide variety of scientific and engineering problems. Toolboxes are comprehensive collections of MATLAB functions, commands and solvers that expand the MATLAB environment to solve particular classes of problems. Figure 1.17.
