A Matlab kernel for Jupyter/IPython

Project description

A Jupyter/IPython kernel for Matlab

This requires IPython 3 and pymatbridge.

To test it, install via pip or setup.py, then:

ipython qtconsole --kernel=matlab_kernel

Or select the Matlab Kernel in the IPython Notebook.

This is based on MetaKernel, which means it features a standard set of magics.

A sample notebook is available online.

You can specify the path to your matlab executable by creating a MATLAB_EXECUTABLE environmental variable:

MATLAB_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/matlab; ipython notebook --kernel=matlab_kernel

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.
