Project description

A Jupyter/IPython kernel for Matlab

This requires Jupyter Notebook, and pymatbridge.

To install:

pip install matlab_kernel
python -m matlab_kernel.install

To use it, run one of:

ipython notebook
# In the notebook interface, select Matlab from the 'New' menu
ipython qtconsole --kernel matlab
ipython console --kernel matlab

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

For example, on OSX, you could add something like the following to ~/.bash_profile:

export MATLAB_EXECUTABLE=/Applications/MATLAB_2015b.app/bin/matlab

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.
