Your Role in the .NET WebFigure Deployment Process

Depending on your role in your organization, as well as a number of other criteria, you may need to implement either the beginning or the advanced configuration of WebFigures.

The table WebFigures for .NET Deployment Roles, Responsibilities, and Tasks describes some of the different roles, or jobs, that MATLAB Builder NE users typically perform and which method of configuration they would most likely use when running Quick Start: Implementing a WebFigure and Advanced Configuration of a WebFigure.

WebFigures for .NET Deployment Roles, Responsibilities, and Tasks

Role	Typical Responsibilities	Tasks
MATLAB programmer	Understand end-user business requirements and the mathematical models needed to support them. Write M-code. Build an executable component with MATLAB tools (usually with support from a .NET programmer). Package the component for distribution to end users.	Write and deploy M-code, such as that in Assumptions About the Examples.
.NET programmer (business-service developer or front-end developer)	Design and configure the IT environment, architecture, or infrastructure. Install deployable applications along with the proper version of the MCR. Create mechanisms for exposing application functionality to the end user.	Uses Quick Start: Implementing a WebFigure to easily create a graphic, such as a MATLAB figure, that the end user can manipulate over the Web. Use the Advanced Configuration of a WebFigure to create a flexible, scalable implementation that can meet a number of varied architectural requirements.

• If you are a MATLAB programmer:

  • A basic knowledge of MATLAB

• If you are a .NET programmer:

  • Knowledge of how to build a Web site using Microsoft Visual Studio.

  • Experience deploying MATLAB applications

Assumptions About the Examples

To work with the examples in this chapter:

• Assume the following M-function has been created:

  function df = getKnot()
          f = figure;             %Create a figure.
          set(f,'Visible','off'); %Make sure it isn't visible.
          knot;                   %Put something into the figure.
          df = webfigure(f);      %Give the figure to your function
                                  % and return the result.
          close(f);               %Close the figure.
  end

• Assume that the function getKnot has been deployed in a .NET component (using Getting Started for example) with a namespace of MyComponent.MyComponentclass.

• Assume the MATLAB Compiler Runtime (MCR) has been installed. If not, refer to Install the MCR on Target Computers Without MATLAB and Update System Paths in the MATLAB Compiler documentation.

• If you are running on a system with 64-bit architecture, use the information in Advanced Configuration of a WebFigure to work with WebFigures unless you are deploying a Web site which is 32-bit only and you have a 32-bit MCR installed.
