Prerequisites: Install Jupyter Notebook and the Matlab engine for Python.
To install:
$ pip install matlab_kernel # or `pip install git+https://github.com/Calysto/matlab_kernel` # for the devel version. $ python -m matlab_kernel install
To use it, run one of:
$ jupyter notebook # In the notebook interface, select Matlab from the 'New' menu $ jupyter qtconsole --kernel matlab $ jupyter console --kernel matlab
This is based on MetaKernel, which means it features a standard set of magics.
A sample notebook is available online.
A note about plotting. After each call to Matlab, we ask Matlab to save any
open figures to image files whose format and resolution are defined using the
%plot magic. The resulting image is shown inline in the notebook. You can
use %plot native to raise normal Matlab windows instead.
