MATLAB: When I start MATLAB 7.1 (R14SP3) as an Automation server, why are there no menu options

automationMATLABmenuSpreadsheet Linkuse

I want to launch MATLAB as an Automation server with the menu options, but it seems that the menu options do not appear when I do so.

The same happens when using the 'startmatlab' button in Excel Link 2.3 (R14SP3).

Best Answer

The MATLAB session that is launched as an automation server can have usual desktop format by typing the following at the MATLAB command prompt:

desktop

If you are using the product Spreadsheet Link EX, you can also set an option to always start MATLAB in desktop mode. You can find the Preferences tab under Add-Ins; the specific option is called "Use MATLAB desktop".

MATLAB: How to retrieve ga options

That information is not recorded after the end of the procedure.

If you passed an options structure in to ga, then use

gaoptimset(TheOptionsStructure)

to see what the final options would have been.

If you did not pass an options structure to ga, then use

gaoptimset(@ga)

to see what the options used were.

PopulationSize is not dynamic: it is determined by the options passed in or defaulted to.

MATLAB: How to set global options

For a global variable to enter the scope of any given workspace you will have to call global var_name again. This will tell MATLAB to make that global variable accessible in that workspace. In you specific case try something like this:

global options
options = optimset('Display','off');
function 
...body...
global options
y = fsolve(......, options)
end

But I will still recommend that you pass options as an argument to that function and not use the global approach.
