GENERAL
Matlab Commander allows you to use Matlab from your Android smartphone.
The minimum requirements on the PC controlled by Matlab Commander are Matlab 2007b and Java 6.
-----------
WARNING ON SECURITY AND DEVELOPMENT STAGE
Please note the following:
- this is an early release, pushed out for comments and users feedback
- Matlab Commander connection to the PC running Matlab is NOT
encrypted or protected by password
- you also need to download a server application on the PC running
Matlab; the link is provided in Matlab Commander in the "Server parameters" menu.
-----------
FEATURE
Currently Matlab Commander allows you to:
- execute many Matlab commands
- show their numeric results
- browse recent commands
- one click copy-paste of recent commands
Currently Matlab Commander doesn't allow you to:
- estabilish a secure connection to the PC
- show figures (e.g. obtained with plot, mesh, surf, etc.)
- use the help command as well as other text output commands (e.g. pwd, ls, etc.)
- use Matlab graphical tools
More details:
- although it is possible to define and use higher dimensions matrices, Matlab Commander supports showing only 3D matrices
- although not supporting the pwd command, you can change the working
directory via the cd command
- the message "No output for this command, check Matlab on PC" is not an error
- some commands will give sort of an error, even if they are not (e.g.
close all, clear, etc.)
- the "Figures" and "Variables" tabs are placeholders; they will be
functional in future releases
-----------
NEXT STEP
Soon to come:
- secure connection
- recent figures (plot, mesh, surf, etc.) gallery
- use the Android camera to take and upload images to the PC running Matlab for subsequent processing
- upload files to the PC running Matlab for subsequent processing
- support for text output commands
