Hi everybody,
I am learning to use org-babel to evaluate in-line Matlab code block, but I cannot make it works when I press the "C-c C-c", nor "C-c C-v e". The export of code works, but the results was not there. My in-line code is like this:
#+begin_src matlab :export results
n = [1:10];
x = 5*n+4;
x
#+end_src
Is there someone can provide me a working example? Thanks a lot.

Hi Darlan, Thanks (and sorry if you've made this suggestion previously, which I seem to recall). I can see that this would be particularly natural for matlab/octave in which (aIui) function definitions require specifying the name of the variable whose value is to be returned. In other languages which I've encountered, return values are determined by either "return" statements, or the value of the last statement in the function, or both of these mechanisms. So if we were to apply your suggestion to all languages, one could argue that it would permit un-natural code in languages other than matlab/octave. As you say, we do want things to be uniform across languages, but perhaps there is an argument for restricting your suggestion to matlab/octave?

I can't say I fully understand what's going on and possibly I'm off my rocker; but it seems to me that it is only the wrapper function from ob-octave that requires the result to be anonymous so it can pick up on "ans" without having to either parse the input or the output of Octave. This is an artefact of how Octave handles things and a convention to make things click with the wrapper in babel. If for instance you'd wrap the Octave script into an anonymous structure, you could get at the last evaluation without knowing the name, like this: : {%s};ans{size(ans,1)} That'd remove the requirement of delivering the result in any particular form as long as it is produced by the last evaluation in the code block. I'm not sure it works when code sprinkled across several blocks is supposed to be in a single session, however. > In other languages which I've encountered, return values are > determined by either "return" statements, or the value of the last > statement in the function, or both of these mechanisms.

I have only used org babel with python and octave and I don't know how this would translate to other languages, but I think it makes sense in languages that you can work with scripts. Let me elaborate. Suppose I have the two code snippets below: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+begin_src python :results value from numpy import arange print "I don't want to see this" a=arange(1,10) a+2 # Only this as the last statement is not enough return a+2 # We need to add return a+2 #+end_src --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+begin_src octave :results value disp 'I dont want to see this' a=1:10 b=a+2 # Only this is not enough because ans was never set ans = b #+end_src --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- In both cases I want to see the value of a variable after executing a script and not what the script prints to the screen. From babel documentation I can see that I need the "functional mode" with the header argument :results value. However, in the python example I need to add a "return" statement even though I didn't declare a python function in the code (this is invalid code if I tangle it). Also, in the octave example if the 'ans' variable was set before to some value, babel would show it after execution, instead of the value of the last statement as one could think. Therefore, the suggestion is that since babel is implicitly declaring a function (with a def in python, for example), it is more natural that it also "write" the return statement which I could set with a ":return" header argument and not in the language code. The two snippets would become --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+begin_src python :return b from numpy import arange print "I don't want to see this" a=arange(1,10) b=a+2 #+end_src --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+begin_src octave :return b disp 'I dont want to see this' a=1:10 b=a+2 #+end_src --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- where the ":results" argument would not be necessary to specify "functional mode". -- Darlan At Tue, 14 Sep 2010 16:40:48 +0100, Dan Davison wrote: > > Darlan Cavalcante Moreira <darcamo@gmail.com> writes: > > > Can I leave a suggestion here? > > Maybe a header argument > > ,---- > > | :return variableName > > `---- > > could be interesting in org babel.

It works! The ans variable is the secret! Thanks a lot. I suggest org should provide some examples in its user's guide, not only on the topic of Babel but also Table, Hyperlink, Picture, and etc. > >> > >> ----------------------------- > >> > >> etimecowboy@gmail.com > >> > >> _.,----,._ > >> .:' `:. > >> .' `. > >> .' `. > >> : : > >> ` .'`':'`'`/ ' > >> `. \ | / ,' > >> \ \ | / / > >> `\_..,,.._/' > >> {`'-,_`'-} > >> {`'-,_`'-} > >> {`'-,_`'-} > >> `YXXXXY' > >> ~^^~ > >> > >> _______________________________________________ > >> Emacs-orgmode mailing list > >> Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > >> Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > >> http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

I found this when comparing the exported figure by org with the figure generated by Matlab. I also found that I cannot use org-babel on an Windows PC which has Matlab installed, but not Octave. Could someone show me how to use Matlab program to evaluate Matlab code blocks in org files in both Linux and Windows OS? Maybe it should be some settings in my .emacs file?

Hmm, shouldn't do. Could you post your example? Have you activated both octave and matlab? What is the value of your org-babel-load-languages? For me C-c C-c and C-c C-v e on #+begin_src matlab 1+1 #+end_src result in /bin/bash: matlab: command not found You can confirm which language is running by using the "version" command. Here's what I get (note I have to run matlab on a remote computer because I don't have it on my laptop). --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+begin_src octave :results output version #+end_src #+results: : ans = 3.2.4 #+begin_src matlab :dir /ddavison@tombstone.princeton.edu:/ :results output version #+end_src #+results: #+begin_example The default version of Matlab in /usr/licensed/bin is matlab-R2009b The following versions are available in /usr/licensed/bin: matlab-R2009b matlab-R2009a matlab-R2008b Warning: No display specified.
