Functions to Query Class Members

Functions to Test Objects

Functions to Query Class Members

These functions provide information about object class members.

Function	Purpose
`class`	Return class of object
`events`	List of class event names defined by the class
`methods`	List of methods implemented by the class
`methodsview`	Information on class methods in separate window
`properties`	List of class property names

Functions to Test Objects

These functions provide logical tests, which are useful when using objects in ordinary functions.

Function	Purpose
`isa`	Determine whether argument is object of specific class
`isequal`	Determine if two objects are equal, which means both objects are of the same class and size and their corresponding property values are equal
`isobject`	Determine whether input is MATLAB object
