MATLAB Language Useful tricks Code Folding Preferences
Example
It is possible to change Code Folding preference to suit your need. Thus code folding can be set enable/unable for specific constructs (ex: if block, for loop, Sections ...).
To change folding preferences, go to Preferences -> Code Folding:
Then you can choose which part of the code can be folded.
Some information:
- Note that you can also expand or collapse all of the code in a file by placing your cursor anywhere within the file, right-click, and then select Code Folding > Expand All or Code Folding > Fold All from the context menu.
- Note that folding is persistent, in the sense that part of the code that has been expanded/collapsed will keep their status after Matlab or the m-file has been closed and is re-open.
Example: To enable folding for sections:
An interesting option is to enable to fold Sections. Sections are delimited by two percent signs (
%%).Example: To enable it check the "Sections" box:
Then instead of seeing a long source code similar to :
You will be able to fold sections to have a general overview of your code :
