Array Editor Renamed to Variable Editor; Offers Enhanced Support for Structures and Classes
The Array Editor has been renamed to the Variable Editor, which better reflects its
support for non-array data such as structures and properties.
The Variable Editor now reports, just below the toolbar, the class and size of the selected
variable. For many classes, there is also a link to help for the class. To view a structure
in the Variable Editor, double-click one of its elements. The resulting display is much like
the display of that element in the Workspace browser, showing the Class, Value, Size,
Min, Max, and other information. For more information about the Variable Editor, see
Viewing and Editing Workspace Variables with the Variable Editor.
Double-click an element in a structure
in the Variable Editor (S(1,1) in this example).
The element opens in its own tab,
displaying information about the data,
as is done in the Workspace browser.
The class for the selected element is shown
(struct in this example), and includes
a link to help for that class.
Use the data brushing button on the Variable Editor toolbar to mark observations
on graphs and then remove or save them to new variables. For more information, see
“Data Brushing for Graphs and Linked Variables” on page 18-30.
The Variable Editor supports the new MATLAB class system. Double-click an object in
the Workspace browser, and it opens in the Variable Editor. The Variable Editor displays
the object, the class, and the properties of the object.
