Test Inherited Class
You can create a customized class by specifying that your class inherits from another class.
Contents
Look at inherited class
I have a class called sadsT in another package called inheritedImp that inherits from the class we just made. I will import it.
clear clear import import inheritedImp.sadsT loadparameters % and get the parameters again
Classdef
(open inherited.sadsT) To inherit from another class use the angle bracket in the classdef file e.g. classdef < superclass1. Here you see we specify it inherits from the sads class using its full name with package.
Add properties
We add the test run property.
Constructor
For the constructor, we take in all the same arguments as before plus the new one test_run and pass most of them to the super class constructor first using a special syntax to create the object, then we set the other property. We create an object with:
sT=sadsT(Data, Wavelength,SampleRate,Spacing,Name,1) % providing other arguments
sT =
inheritedImp.sadsT
package: inheritedImp
properties:
TestRunNumber: 1
Data: [64x16 double]
SampleRate: 3.3333e+007
Spacing: 1.2500
Name: 'Sensor Array Amplitudes'
c: 300000000
NumSensors: 16
NumSamples: 64
Here we see the other property defined in the object
sT
sT =
inheritedImp.sadsT
package: inheritedImp
properties:
TestRunNumber: 1
Data: [64x16 double]
SampleRate: 3.3333e+007
Spacing: 1.2500
Name: 'Sensor Array Amplitudes'
c: 300000000
NumSensors: 16
NumSamples: 64
Plot method
For the plot method, I'm choosing to call the superclass's plot method. When you call the plot method you see the property is added.
plot(sT)
Multiple inheritance
You can inherit from multiple classes too using the syntax < superclass & superclass2
Clean up
clear import
