Function Properties Dialog Box

This group of dialog boxes sets properties and values for the inputs and outputs. You can map inputs and outputs to ranges in your worksheet. You can also rename a function with any of these dialog boxes.

When you click Edit on the Function Viewer, the Function Properties dialog box appears, as shown.

Editing Function Arguments

Function arguments may be either required arguments or varargin/varargout arguments:

• Required arguments appear first on the left or right sides of a MATLAB function and are not named varargin or varargout.

• varargin/varargout arguments always appear as the last input or output. They let you specify a variable number of arguments.

Editing Required and Varargin/Varargout Arguments

To edit required arguments, select the argument from the list and click Properties.

Before you can edit varargin/varargout arguments, you must first explicitly add them using Add. If the MATLAB function does not have varargin/varargout arguments, the ability to add arguments to the list is disabled. After you have added varargin/varargout arguments, you can edit them in the same way as required arguments. When you are editing varargin/varargout arguments, the Function Properties dialog box appears as shown:
