# Basic Command Line Display Formatting in MATLAB
The MATLAB command line provides various options for formatting the command line display, enhancing readability and informativeness of the output.
### 2.1 Command Line Display Formatting
MATLAB uses the `fprintf` function to control the display format of numerical values. The syntax of the `fprintf` function is as follows:
```
fprintf(format, data)
```
Where:
* `format`: A format string that specifies the output format.
* `data`: ***
***mon format strings include:
| Format String | Description |
|---|---|
| `%d` | Integer |
| `%f` | Floating-point number |
| `%e` | Scientific notation |
| `%g` | Automatically selects `%f` or `%e` |
For example, the following code uses the `fprintf` function to format the number 123.456 into scientific notation:
```
>> fprintf('%e', 123.456)
1.234560e+02
```
### 2.1.2 String Formatting
MATLAB also provides the `sprintf` function for string formatting. The syntax of the `sprintf` function is:
```
sprintf(format, data)
```
Where:
* `format`: A format string that specifies the output format.
* `data`: ***
***mon format strings include:
| Format String | Description |
|---|---|
| `%s` | String |
| `%c` | Character |
| `%d` | Integer |
| `%f` | Floating-point number |
For example, the following code uses the `sprintf` function to format the string "MATLAB" and the number 123.456 into a single string:
```
>> sprintf('MATLAB: %f', 123.456)
'MATLAB: 123.456000'
```
# 2. MATLAB Command Line Display Control
### 2.1 Command Line Display Formatting
#### 2.1.1 Numerical Formatting
MATLAB offers a wealth of numerical formatting options, ***mon formatting options include:
- `%f`: Floating-point format, retains specified number of decimal places.
- `%e`: Scientific notation format, represents numbers as powers of 10.
- `%g`: Automatically selects between floating-point or scientific notation format based on the size of the value.
- `%d`: Integer format, does not retain decimal places.
- `%x`: Hexadecimal format, represents numbers in hexadecimal.
**Code Block:**
```matlab
% Numerical formatting example
num = 1234.5678;
fprintf('Floating-point format (2 decimal places): %.2f\n', num);
fprintf('Scientific notation format: %.2e\n', num);
fprintf('Automatically selected format: %.2g\n', num);
fprintf('Integer format: %d\n', num);
fprintf('Hexadecimal format: %x\n', num);
```
**Logical Analysis:**
The code block demonstrates the use of different numerical formatting options. The `fprintf` function is used for formatted output, where the first argument specifies the format string, and subsequent arguments specify the variables to be formatted.
#### 2.1.2 String Formatting
MATLAB also supports string formatting, ***mon formatting options include:
- `%s`: String format, outputs the string directly.
- `%c`: Character format, outputs a single character.
- `%d`: Integer format, outputs the numbers contained in the string.
- `%f`: Floating-point format, outputs the floating-point numbers contained in the string.
**Code Block:**
```matlab
% String formatting example
str = 'MATLAB Command Line Display Control';
fprintf('String format: %s\n', str);
fprintf('Character format (outputs the first character): %c\n', str);
fprintf('Integer format (outputs the length of the string): %d\n', length(str));
fprintf('Floating-point format (outputs the length of the string as a float): %.2f\n', length(str));
```
**Logical Analysis:**
The code block shows the usage of different string formatting options. The `length` function is used to obtain the length of the string.
### 2.2 Command Line Output Control
#### 2.2.1 Output Redirection
MATLAB allows redirecting command line output to files or other devices. This is useful for saving output results or sending output to other applications.
**Code Block:**
```matlab
% Output redirection example
% Redirect output to a file
diary('output.txt');
disp('Redirecting output to a file');
diary off;
% Redirect output to the console
disp('Output redirected to the console');
```
**Logical Analysis:**
The `diary` function is used to turn on or off output redirection. When output is redirected to a file, all command line output is written to the specified file.
#### 2.2.2 Output Truncation and Paging
MATLAB provides options for controlling command line output truncation and paging. This is useful for dealing with long outputs or preventing output from spilling over the screen.
**Code Block:**
```matlab
% Output truncation example
disp('Long output');
disp('Long output');
disp('Long output');
disp('Long output');
% Output paging example
more on;
disp('Long output');
disp('Long output');
disp('Long output');
disp('Long output');
more off;
```
**Logical Analysis:**
The `more` command controls output paging. When `more` is on, output is paged, displaying only one screen at a time.
#### 2.2.3 Output Color and Font Control
MATLAB allows users to customize the color and font of command line output. This is useful for highlighting important information or improving readability.
**Code Block:**
```matlab
% Output color control example
fprintf('Red text', 'red');
fprintf('Green text', 'green');
fprintf('Blue text', 'blue');
% Output font control example
fprintf('Bold text', 'bold');
fprintf('Italic text', 'italic');
fprintf('Underlined text', 'underline');
```
**Logical Analysis:**
The second argument of the `fprintf` function specifies the color or font of the output text. Supported colors include `red`, `green`, and `blue`. Supported fonts include `bold`, `italic`, and `underline`.
# 3.1 Data Structure Display
#### 3.1.1 Scalar and Vector Display
In MATLAB, scalars and vectors are basic data types, and their display in the command line depends on their data type and formatting settings.
**Scalar Display**
A scalar is a single numerical or character value, displayed directly in the command line. For example:
```
>> a = 10
a = 10
```
**Vector Display**
A vector is a set of elements arranged in order, displayed in the command line enclosed in square brackets []. For example:
```
>> b = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
b = [1 2 3 4 5]
```
#### 3.1.2 Matrix and Table Display
Matrices and tables in MATLAB are more complex data structures, and their display depends on their size and formatting settings.
**Matrix Display**
A matrix is a two-dimensional array organized by rows and columns, displayed in the command line enclosed in square brackets [], with each element separated by a comma. For example:
```
>> A = [1, 2; 3, 4]
A =
1 2
3 4
```
**Table Display**
A table is a matrix with row and column labels, displayed in tabular format in the command line. For example:
```
>> T = table(1:5, 'RowNames', {'Row 1', 'Row 2', 'Row 3', 'Row 4', 'Row 5'}, ...
'VariableNames', {'Column 1', 'Column 2'})
T =
Column 1 Column 2
_________ _________
Row 1 1
Row 2 2
Row 3 3
Row 4 4
Row 5 5
```
### 3.2 Data Visualization
MATLAB offers powerful data visualization features that allow users to create various types of graphs and charts to visually represent data.
#### 3.2.1 Plotting Graphs
The `plot` function in MATLAB can be used to plot various types of graphs, including line graphs, scatter plots, and bar charts. For example:
```
>> x = 0:0.1:10;
>> y = sin(x);
>> plot(x, y)
```
This will generate a line graph of the sine curve.
#### 3.2.2 Displaying Images and Videos
MATLAB also supports displaying images and videos using the `imshow` and `video` functions. For example:
```
>> I = imread('image.jpg');
>> imshow(I)
```
This will display an image named "image.jpg".
```
>> V = VideoReader('video.mp4');
>> video = read(V);
>> videoPlayer = vision.VideoPlayer;
>> for i = 1:size(video, 4)
videoPlayer(video(:, :, :, i));
end
```
This will play a video named "video.mp4".
# 4. Error and Warning Handling in the MATLAB Command Line
### 4.1 Error Handling
#### 4.1.1 Error Types and Error Messages
Errors in MATLAB are divided into two types:
***Recoverable errors:** Can be handled with appropriate error handling mechanisms, allowing the program to continue executing.
***Fatal errors:** Cause the program to terminate immediately and cannot continue executing.
MATLAB provides detailed error messages, including error codes, error messages, and the call stack. Error codes are unique and are used to identify specific errors. Error messages provide a brief description of the error. The call stack displays the sequence of function calls that led to the error.
#### 4.1.2 Error Handling Mechanisms
MATLAB provides various error handling mechanisms, including:
***try-catch blocks:** Allow capturing and handling recoverable errors.
***lasterror function:** Retrieves the most recent error information.
***error function:** Manually triggers custom errors.
**try-catch block**
```matlab
try
% Code that may cause an error
catch err
% Error handling code
end
```
**lasterror function**
```matlab
err = lasterror;
disp(err.message);
disp(err.identifier);
```
**error function**
```matlab
error('Custom error message');
```
### 4.2 Warning Handling
#### 4.2.1 Warning Types and Warning Messages
Warnings indicate potential issues or deprecated practices but do not prevent program execution. Warnings in MATLAB are divided into the following types:
***Function warnings:** Generated by the function itself, indicating potential issues with the function.
***Computation warnings:** Generated by the MATLAB computation engine, indicating potential issues during the computation process.
***User warnings:** Manually triggered by the user, indicating custom warnings.
Warning information includes warning codes, warning messages, and the call stack. Warning codes are unique and are used to identify specific warnings. Warning messages provide a brief description of the warning. The call stack shows the sequence of function calls that led to the warning.
#### 4.2.2 Warning Handling Mechanisms
MATLAB provides various warning handling mechanisms, including:
***warning function:** Manually triggers custom warnings.
***lastwarn function:** Retrieves the most recent warning information.
***Warning status:** Controls the display and handling of warnings.
**warning function**
```matlab
warning('Custom warning message');
```
**lastwarn function**
```matlab
warn = lastwarn;
disp(warn);
```
**Warning status**
```matlab
warning('off', 'MATLAB:divideByZero'); % Turns off a specific warning
warning('on', 'all'); % Turns on all warnings
```
# 5.1 Command Line History
### 5.1.1 History Viewing and Management
The MATLAB command line provides a history feature for storing commands that the user has entered. By viewing the history, users can quickly search for and reuse previously executed commands, enhancing work efficiency.
To view the history, enter the following command in the command line window:
```
history
```
This will display a list of the user's most recently executed commands.
To clear the history, use the following command:
```
clear history
```
Additionally, the following commands can be used to manage the history:
- `history -w`: Saves the current history to a file.
- `history -r`: Loads history from a file.
- `history -n`: Specifies the number of history entries to display.
### 5.1.2 History Search and Reuse
The MATLAB command line also supports history search and reuse functionality. Users can search the history using the following steps:
1. In the command line window, type `history -s`, ***
***mands that match the search criteria will be displayed.
To reuse a command from the history, follow these steps:
1. In the command line window, type `history -r`, followed by the sequence number of the command to reuse.
2. The command will be executed again.
For example, to search for commands containing the keyword "plot", enter:
```
history -s plot
```
To reuse the 10th command from the history, enter:
```
history -r 10
```
