Suppressible Command Window Debug Output

debugout() provides debugging messages that can be suppressed with debugmode(false)

This set of debug commands allows you to add debugging messages and output to your code that can be enabled or suppressed easily. debugout() writes to the Command Window and, if called from inside a function, includes the name of the parent function as bold text before the command message.
Debug output is similar in style to using Matlab's own disp()
