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
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.
