MATLAB: Old class definitions in MATLAB2012

classclassdef versus @-syntax

Dear Matlab users!

I am working on an old project from 2004, with old class definitions

@classname – syntax instead of classdef.

I cannot easily browse these objects like structures, which costs me a lot of time. Do you have a hint for me, how to easily browse these kind of objects?

I would very appriciate your kind help, Philipp

Hi Philipp,

what do you mean by "easily browse"? Do you mean taking a look at the properties?

You might convert to a structure using

x = struct(yourObject);

and take a look at x then, does this help?

MATLAB: Is It possible to overload dot notation operator

Hi,

I think you have to overload the subsasgn function

http://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2011b/techdoc/ref/subsasgn.html

There you see the following example:

See how MATLAB calls subsasgn for the expression:
A.field = B;
The syntax A.field = B calls A = subsasgn(A,S,B) where S.type = '.' and S.subs = 'field'.

So it can be tricky to overload it probably.

MATLAB: Cannot access protected property

Jeroen - I think the problem is that you are trying to access the protected member of the derived class from the base class. Look at class property attributes and consider how protected is defined as access from class or subclasses.

Generally, you can't access derived class members from the base class (though with MATLAB it seems you can if you assign access as public). Why not overload this method in the derived classes and call the base class method when needed? See calling base class methods from subclass objects for the manner in which to do this.
