Matlab compilation quirks – take 2
A few hard-to-trace quirks with Matlab compiler outputs are explained.
Stock Matlab function
Additional license data
Additional meta-data about installed toolboxes can be retrieved in Matlab.
Parsing XML strings
Matlab's xmlread function cannot process XML data directly, but this can easily be overcome.
Quirks with parfor vs. for
Parallelizing loops with Matlab's parfor might generate unexpected results. Users beware!
Sending email/text messages from Matlab
Sending emails and SMS (text) messages from Matlab is easy, once you know a few quirks.
Afterthoughts on implicit expansion
The new implicit expansion feature of Matlab R2016b can break user code in unexpected ways.
Customizing axes part 5 – origin crossover and labels
The axes rulers (axles) can be made to cross-over at any x,y location within the chart.
rmfield performance
The performance of the builtin rmfield function (as with many other builtin functions) can be improved by simple profiling.
Viewing saved profiling results
We can easily use saved profiling results to analyze, view and compare profiling results of multiple runs.
Convolution performance
Matlab's internal implementation of convolution can often be sped up significantly using the Convolution Theorem.
