Dear All,
Has anyone started on a babel mode for matlab? Or is anyone else
interested
in making it happen? Or have a suggestion for a good template to start
from (babel-python? babel-R?) And anyone has an estimate of how time
consuming such a project would be?
I'd like it to work on Windows and there isn't a console mode of Matlab
on windows, but you can evaluate code with EmacsLink and likely direct
all output to temporary files.
(I know EmacsLink was dropped in R2009a, but some of us are avoiding
upgrading
and hoping that Matlab will return EmacsLink in the future.)
Thanks,
Stoph

Hi Christopher,
I do not know of anyone working on matlab support for org-babel. I am
attaching a template file which contains instructions for adding support
for a new language. Depending on your level of familiarity with elisp
it could take anywhere from a couple of hours to a couple of days.
We're still debugging some of the original language specific files :)
Best of Luck! -- Eric

Hi list,
Has any progress been made on this? I'm fairly new to org-mode and
org-babel but this sounds to me like a very useful feature.

This is also important for me (in fact, for octave). For now I used the template
file and I can tangle the code correctly, but since I didn't implement any
function for code execution tangling is all I've got.

I was also going to suggest that if someone did this, they might want to
try to address octave at the same time.
Darlan -- would you like to share your initial version of octave
support? If we get it onto a git repository then we can all have a look
and maybe make a bit of progress. Either post it, or contact me off-line
for the admin details for http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode/babel.git.
I don't use either language but here are some comments about the various
tasks and guesses about how hard they would be.
If someone could comment on the extent to which differences between
matlab and octave (running as command-line external processes) are going
to make shared org-babel support problematic that would probably be
useful.
- external process :results output
Running octave as an external process under linux/OS X and collecting
stdout shouldn't be too hard. Presumably same for matlab? Windows
support: unavailable for matlab, but probably feasible for octave.
- external process :results value
This basically involves (in matlab/octave) writing vectors and arrays
to a tabular file (and then using existing code to import the org
table, but this bit can be taken from the files for another language)
- :session
At first glance it looks like there's an inferior octave mode that
should be suitable for use
with :session. Darlan -- do you have experience with this?
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Running-Octave-From-Within-Emacs.html#Running-Octave-From-Within-Emacs
- Matlab :session on Windows
Getting org-babel to work with the MatLab "EmacsLink" module may well be
possible, but I would only be able to help very superficially.

I'm afraid I can't help much on this. I just used the org-babel-template.el file
provided by Eric and did a search and replace as told in the file comments in
order to make tangle work for octave and MATLAB. I didn't implement any function
(I only know enough lisp to understand my own .emacs file).

In case it is useful to anyone I've hacked together something to
read back things from matlab's output using the diary mode, m-files,
and a bit of lisp combined with EmacsLink (which - sadly - is no
longer supported by the Mathworks on their most recent versions of
Matlab). This was done on windows xp.
This is still a few steps away from full orgmode integration, but it
is a bit nice. Perhaps someone can build on it.
example use:
%in emacs matlab mode ss; a=1 fprintf(1,'%d\n',a) se;
% mark the above in emacs % ctrl-c ctrl-r % ctrl-c ctrl-i
%the result: %%%%%%%%%%%%% % 04-Mar-2010 20:49:45 a=1 a = 1
fprintf(1,'%d\n',a) 1 se;
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
the .emacs changes:
(defun my-matlab-mode-hook () (setq fill-column 76)
(font-lock-mode 1) (auto-fill-mode 0) ; turn off auto-fill
(imenu-add-to-menubar "Find")) ; where auto-fill should wrap
(setq matlab-session-filename "session.txt") (defun
insert-session-file () (interactive) ;;
(matlab-shell-run-region (mark) (point)) (insert-file-contents
matlab-session-filename)) (global-set-key "\C-c\C-i"
'insert-session-file) (add-hook 'matlab-mode-hook
'my-matlab-mode-hook)
ss.m %sessionstart
diary off; sessionfilename='C:\Documents and Settings\clong\My
Documents\MatlabToolboxes\stoph\session.txt'; eval(['delete '''
sessionfilename ''' ']); diary([sessionfilename]);
fprintf(1,'\n%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\n') fprintf(1,'%%
%s\n',datestr(now))
se.m %
fprintf(1,'\n%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\n') diary off;
