MATLAB: How to debug the live script

debuggingeditorliveMATLAB

Can I place break points in my live script to perform debugging as I would with regular script files?

Best Answer

Visual debugging is not supported as of the current release (R2016a), but you can perform command line debugging – e.g:

>> dbstop myfile.mlx
>> myfile
>> dbstep

You will see your output and figures in their traditional form.

MATLAB: Are live scripts compatible with previous and later versions of MATLAB

We have carefully designed the format of live scripts to be forward and backwards compatible with releases beyond R2016a. In other words, in the future, you should always be able to use a live script created in R2016a with a newer version of MATLAB (backwards compatibility), and you should always be able to use a live script created in a newer version of MATLAB in an older version (forwards compatibility).

The support for opening live scripts in versions of MATLAB older than R2016a is limited to the following: live scripts will open in R2014b, R2015a, R2015b with the code only. That is to say, a live script with formatted text, code and output will open only as the code. The preferred way to work with an older release is to save the live script in R2016a as a plain code (.m) file, which will preserve the code and convert the text to publishing markup.

MATLAB: How to change the axis limit when I have 2 axes in the figure

You can use the "yyaxis" and "ylim" commands to set the y-limit for both axes:

>> figure

>> yyaxis left

>> plot(1:10);

>> yyaxis right

>> plot(2:2:20);

>> f = gcf;

>> yyaxis left

>> ylim(f.Children, [0 5]);

>> yyaxis right

>> ylim(f.Children, [5 10]);
