MATLAB Programming

Function Arguments
Save the M-file, and then run it as shown here:
publish_ip('ipscript.m', 'ppt', 'outputDir', ...
'C:/matlab/test', 'maxWidth', 500, 'maxHeight', 300);
The output is
The input parameters for this program are:
format
maxHeight
maxWidth
outputDir
script
Parsing Parameter Values on the Function Call
Once you have constructed a schema that represents all possible inputs
to the function, the next task is to write the code that parses and verifies
these arguments whenever the function is called. The parse method of the
inputParser class reads and validates the required script argument and
any optional arguments that follow it in the argument list:
p.parse(script, varargin{:});
Execution of the parse method validates each argument and also builds a
structure from the input arguments. The name of the structure is Results,
which is accessible as a property of the object. To get the value of all
arguments, type
p.Results
To get the value of any single input argument, type
p.Results.argname
where argname is the name of the argument. Continue with the publish_ip
exercise started earlier in this section by removing the sprintf statement
that was inserted in the last section, and then adding the following lines:
% Parse and validate all input arguments.
p.parse(script, varargin{:});
