MATLAB Function Reference

docopt - Web browser for UNIX^® platforms

Syntax

docopt
doccmd = docopt

Description

docopt displays the Web browser used with the MATLAB^® software when running on The Open Group UNIX platforms, except for the Apple^® Macintosh^® platform, with the default being netscape (for Netscape Navigator^®). For UNIX platforms (other than the Macintosh platform), you can modify the docopt.m file to specify the Web browser MATLAB uses. The Web browser is used with the web function and its -browser option. It is also used for links to external Web sites from the Help.

doccmd = docopt returns a string containing the command that web -browser uses to invoke a Web browser.

To change the browser, edit the docopt.m file and change line 51. For example,

50	elseif isunix                   % UNIX
51	%   doccmd = '';

Remove the comment symbol. In the quote, enter the command that starts your Web browser, and save the file. For example,

51	    doccmd = 'mozilla';

specifies Mozilla^® as the Web browser MATLAB uses.
