MATLAB/Octave bundle update - goodies abound

Written by thomas on October 10th, 2008

This update brings a few fixes, as well as a couple of new functions.

  1. The bundle will now allow you to open function files by hitting ⇧⌘O. This was poorly implemented before, but the new version actually grabs your MATLAB/Octave path definitions and opens the m-file in question. If the function is a compiled p-, mex-, or oct-file, or if the function is not in your current MATLAB/Octave path, you will receive appropriate error messages.
  2. TextMate now gives you completion on functions in your MATLAB/Octave path! The feature, which is accessed using ⌥⎋, will do a search through all functions in the path and present them in a menu. See the images below for demonstration. Function completion in MATLAB Function completion in Octave
  3. You can now open your command history in both MATLAB and Octave.

Again, if you have any bugs or problems to report, please drop me an email.

The latest Matlab/Octave bundle can be downloaded via svn. If you don't want to mess with svn, you can download the zip file here.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the bundle… I added some functionalities to the bundle that could be useful, namely launching a script from Textmate, and support of the “cell mode” that can be found in the matlab editor (you can run a single cell from Textmate too). Due to matlab not playing nice with others, this works when matlab is launched in -nodesktop mode in the terminal. Maybe you would want to add that in the bundle. I couldn’t find your mail adress…contact me !

    Hi Thomas!

    I’m a newcommer in the matter of TextMate so sorry about my stupid question. I have installed your MATLAB Bundle. Is it now possible to run M-Files out of TextMate or do I have to save it for calling it up in MATLAB? Maybe there is something I didn’t understand.

    Thanks!
