Topics

Defining Classes

• User-Defined Classes
  MATLAB enables you to define classes to implement object-oriented designs.
• Class Attributes
  Class attributes enable you to modify the behavior of classes that you define.
• Functions Inside Class Definition Files
  Just as you can define local functions in a script file or function file, you can also define local functions inside a classdef file.

Class and Namespace Folders

• Folders Containing Class Definitions
  Define special folders for class files to contain multiple files for class definitions.
• Create Namespaces
  Use namespaces to organize code.
• Class Precedence
  Specify a relative precedence among user-defined classes.
• Import Namespace Members into Functions
  Import code from namespaces to simplify references.
