The Optimization Tool is a GUI for solving optimization problems. With the Optimization Tool, you select a solver from a list and set up your problem visually. If you are familiar with the optimization problem you want to solve, the Optimization Tool lets you select a solver, specify the optimization options, and run your problem. You can also import and export data from the MATLAB workspace, and generate M-files containing your configuration for the solver and options.
