Hints and Tricks for MATLAB

Below are a number of hints and tricks that you might find useful in your labors with MATLAB. Some are not entirely obvious, or good programming practice, but they sometimes can be very helpful in refining your work. The list is very short now, but we hope that your questions, comments and suggestions will help us add more. Feel free to email us with "how to" questions.

Creating m-files to hand in your homework assignments. We strongly recommend that you READ THIS NOTE.
Automating Procedures shows you how to sequence through a bunch of files or variables whose names are numerically sequenced.
Handle Graphics Some nifty tricks that can be used to tweak some of the characteristics of your plots (font size, line widths, etc) to make them more "presentation ready".
Accumulating Data Tips about accumulating data as a numerical experiment runs, so that you can look at how things evolve.
