Documentation for Other Products
The Help browser provides access to documentation for all products
installed on your system. To view the o nline documentation
for all MathWorks products, use the M athWorks Web site at
http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/helpdesk.shtml.
Product-Specific Help Features
In addition to the Help browser and help functions, some products and tools
allow other methods for g etting help. You will encounter some m ethods in the
course of using a product, such as entries in the Help menu, Help buttons
in dialog boxes, and selecting Help from a context menu. These methods
all display context-sensitive help. Other methods for getting help, such as
pressing the F1 key, are d es cribed in the documentation for the product or
tool that uses the method.
User-Contributed M-Files
You can download M-files contributed by users and developers of MATLAB,
Simulink, and related products from MATLAB Central. Before you write
an M-file yourself, especia lly if it se ems to be a generic utility, check the
list of contributed files to see if someone has already written it. These
files are freely contributed and ca n be used without charge by anyone
