After trying the following syntax from the documentation for the GALLERY function:
A = gallery('vander', 1:.5:3)
I received the error:
 ??? Error using ==> gallery
 Invalid matrix name.

Best Answer

There is a bug in the documentation for the GALLERY function in MATLAB 7.2 (R2006a).
The listed syntax:
A = gallery('vander',1:.5:3)
is not supported.
Instead, the documentation should give the following:
vander (1:.5:3)
