Creating a Simple Class
This simple class introduces the basic patterns and syntax for defining a class.
Using a Class to Display Graphics
This example of a MATLAB class definition shows syntax and programming techniques used in typical classes.
Developing Classes That Work Together
Classes implement your object-oriented design.
Representing Structured Data with Classes
Classes enable you to define specialized data structures.
Implementing Linked Lists with Classes
MATLAB handle objects enable you to implement an efficient linked-list data structure.
Customize Parentheses Indexing for Mapping Class
This example shows how to customize parentheses indexing for a mapping class.
Representing Polynomials with Classes
This example shows how to define new data types using classes.
A Class Hierarchy for Heterogeneous Arrays
Heterogeneous class hierarchies enable you to form arrays of different, but related classes.
Static Data
Static data refers to data that all objects of the class share and that you can modify after creation. MATLAB supports techniques for working with static data.
