Workspace Browser and Variable Editor
Workspace Browser
The MATLAB workspace consists of the set of
variables built up during a MATLAB session and stored in memory.
You add variables to the workspace by using functions, running M-files,
and loading saved workspaces.
To view the workspace and information about each variable, use
the Workspace browser, or use the functions who and whos.
To delete variables from the workspace, select the variables,
and then select Edit > Delete. Alternatively, use the clearvars or clear functions.
The workspace does not persist after you end the MATLAB session.
To save the workspace to a file that can be read during a later MATLAB session,
select File > Save, or use the save function. Saving
preserves the workspace in a binary file called a MAT-file, which
has a .mat extension. You can use options to save
to different formats. To read in a MAT-file, select File > Import Data, or use the load function.
For More Information
See MATLAB Workspace in
the MATLAB Desktop Tools and Development Environment documentation
and the reference pages for the who, clear, save,
and load functions. |
