About Demos

MATLAB and related products include demos that you can access from the

Help browser Demos pane.

There are four types of demos:

•

M-file: Demos that tell a step-by-step story, including source code,

commentary, and output. They are published from M-file scripts to HTML

output using the Editor/Debugger. The first comment line of the demo

M-file begins with two comment symbols (

%%), and similarly, two comment

symbols (

%%) create a cell for each step. The MATLAB G raphics Square

Wave from Sine Waves demo is an M-file type demo.

•

M-GUI: S t and-alone too ls for exploring a feature. An example is the

MATLAB Graphics Vibrating Logo demo.

•

Model: Simulink block diagrams. An example is the Engine Timing

Simulation demo.

•

Video: Movies that highlight key features in a tool. They play in your

system brows er and require the Macromedia Flash Player plug-in. Some

also require an Internet connection. An example is the MATLAB Desktop

and Command Window demo.

The MATLAB code and Simulink blocks used in the demos (except videos) are

available for you to view and copy for use in your own applications.

See also Examples for each product in the Contents pane. These examples

are similar to demos but are integrated in the documentation.
