Launch the Coder Type Editor dialog box

Since R2020a

Syntax

Description

coderTypeEditor [var1 ... varN](#mw%5F59e91dcb-c85d-42d1-b444-cb667336cc37) opens a Coder Type Editor dialog box pre-populated with coder.Type objects corresponding to the workspace variables var1 through varN. For a variable var, the name of the generated coder.Type object is varType.

example

coderTypeEditor -all opens a Coder Type Editor dialog box pre-populated with coder.Type objects corresponding to all compatible variables in the current workspace.

coderTypeEditor -close closes an open Coder Type Editor dialog box.

Open Coder Type Editor Populated with Types for Existing Variables

In your MATLAB® workspace, define variables var1,var2, and var3.

myArray = magic(4); myCharVector = 'Hello, World!'; myStruct = struct('a',5,'b','mystring');

Open the type editor pre-populated with types for var1,var2, and var3.

coderTypeEditor myArray myCharVector myStruct

The Coder Type Editor dialog box opens. The Type Browser pane displays the name, class (data type), and size for coder.Type objectsmyArrayType, myCharVectorType, andmyStructType for the three workspace variables.

Inspect the created types and check that they are consistent with the variables in the workspace.

• myArrayType represents a4-by-4 array of type double.
• myCharVectorType represents a1-by-13 character row vector.
• myStructType represents a scalar of typestruct. Expand the tree corresponding tomyStructType in the Type Browser. The field a represents a scalar double. The fieldb represents a 1-by-8 character vector.

To save these types in the base workspace, in the Coder Type Editor toolstrip, clickSave. The variables myArrayType,myCharVectorType, and myStructType appear in the base workspace.

var1 ... varN — Workspace variables whose types you intend to view in the type editor

value belonging to a fundamental MATLAB class that supports code generation | value object | handle object | coder.Type object

Workspace variables whose types you intend to view in the type editors. They can store any value that is compatible with code generation.

The value can also be a coder.Type object. In that case, thecoder.Type object itself opens in the type editor.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | logical | char | string | struct | table | cell | categorical | datetime | duration | timetable | fi | value object | coder.Type object
Complex Number Support: Yes
