it does so using the permissions of the class. This gives MATLAB the same access as
the locations where the function handle was created, including access to private and
protected methods accessible to that class.
See Obtaining Permissions from Class Methods for more information.
Listing Video File Formats Supported by mmreader
The new mmreader.getFileFormats method returns a list of the formats that
mmreader supports. The list of formats is static for Windows and UNIX systems, but
dynamic on Macintosh systems. For more information, see the getFileFormats reference
page.
unzip Preserves Write Attribute of Files
In previous releases, for files archived using WinZip
®
software, the unzip function
set the file write attribute of extracted files to read only. Starting with R2010a, unzip
preserves the original attribute.
New Package Provides Access to low-level CDF API Routines
MATLAB has included high-level routines for accessing Common Data Format (CDF)
files: cdfread, cdfwrite, and cdfinfo. However, the CDF API is so large, these
functions cannot satisfy every need. To solve this, MATLAB now includes a new package,
called CDFlib, that provides access to dozens of the functions in the CDF API. Using
these low-level functions, you can create CDF files and populate them with variables and
attributes using the CDF library, version 3.3.0.
Upgrades to Scientific File Format Libraries
The following table lists upgrades to several scientific file format libraries used by
MATLAB.
Library Version Upgrade
CDF 3.2.1 to 3.3.0
HDF5 1.8.1 to 1.8.3
HDF4 4.2.r1 to 4.2.r4
