How to run MATLAB
To use MATLAB, type:
add matlab; matlab
This will start the default version of Matlab for your platform (5.2
for Sun, SGI Irix 6.2+, Linux/NetBSD; 5.1 for SGI Irix 5.3). For some
platforms, other versions of Matlab are available, type
>> help athena
in Matlab for more information.
A new xterm will pop up (as usual, just click a mouse button to set the
location and size of the window) with matlab running in it.
Matlab can take several command line arguments including,
-h|-help - display usage message
-n - print environment variables only
-display Xserver - set display variable
-Ddebugger [options] - Startup matlab with debugger
-tty - start Matlab in current window
-msg - force redisplay of current start message
directory_list - Adds each directory in list to MATLAB search
path if it is an accessible directory
xterm args - all valid xterm arguments can be used to
control appearance of Matlab command window
If you use matlab often, you will probably want to attach matlab
automatically when you log in. To do this, put the following line in your
~/.environment file.
add matlab
The next time you log in, all you should have to do is type "matlab" at your
athena% prompt to run matlab.
