Tracking the value of a variable in Debug Mode

23 views (last 30 days)
I have several variables that I want to track the values of throughout my function. I only seem to be able to track the value when I place a break-point at a point of interest. Is there some sort of "tag" function in which I can tell Matlab to continually track the value of a variable?

If I variable "X", I want the value of X to be displayed somewhere at any given moment.

If the value is a pixel value (a gray level or RGB value), then you can use impixelinfo() where it will update a status label with the image's color as you mouse around the image. Otherwise for a general variable, then do as my answer below mentioned.

You can list the variable's name by itself on it's own line in your source code, with no semicolon after it. When execution hits that line of code, it will spew the value of the variable out to the command window. No breakpoint needed.
