Publishing Results and Deploying Applications

MATLAB® provides a number of features for documenting and sharing your work. You can integrate your MATLAB code with other languages and applications and deploy your MATLAB algorithms and applications as stand-alone programs or software modules.

Publishing Results

The MATLAB product lets you export your results as plots or as complete reports. You can export plots to all popular graphics file formats and then import the plots into other packages, such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint. Using the MATLAB Editor, you can automatically publish your MATLAB code in HTML, Word, LaTEX, and other formats.

To create more complex reports, such as simulation runs and multiple parameter tests, you can use the MATLAB Report Generator (available separately).

Integrating MATLAB Code with Other Languages and Applications

MATLAB provides functions for integrating C and C++ code, Fortran code, COM objects, and Java code with your applications. You can call DLLs, Java classes, and ActiveX controls. Using the MATLAB engine library, you can also call MATLAB from C, C++, or Fortran code.

Deploying Applications

You can create your algorithm in MATLAB and distribute it to other MATLAB users as M-code. Using the MATLAB Compiler (available separately), you can deploy your algorithm, as a stand-alone application or as a software module that you include in your project, to users who do not have MATLAB.

Additional products let you convert your algorithm into a software module that is callable from COM or Microsoft Excel.
