sexy

Display a symbolic expression in a human readable form. Extension of the built-in pretty function.

Description

If S is a symbolic expression, then sexy(S) opens a small figure window (message box really) displaying the expression S in a "human-like" form.

Requires the symbolic math toolbox.

Also requires that your Matlab release support 'latex' in the 'interpreter' property of text objects, I forget which was the first release that supported this.

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.2 (R2006a)
• Other requirements: Matlab version that supports 'latex' as a value to the 'interpreter' property of text objects.

Great Code

[Claude Girard]

Does its job well. And I like the irony in the name :)

I find that for long expressions the msgbox isnt able to print the whole expression out. any ideas?

[Vijay Desai]

It is great for "medium" size expressions but doesn't work with long expressions

[Vijay Desai]

Continuing with previous review:For the really long expressions, maybe we can break it up into a number of subexpressions and display them individually.
