The Matlab class in Tycho provides a shell for interacting with Matlab. Currently, this only works if Tycho is running with Ptolemy (see Running Tycho), and Ptolemy has been compiled to work with Matlab. The Matlab class is derived from the Console class, and therefore inherits all of its features. In particular, the mechanisms for scrolling through and editing command histories are fully supported. In addition, Matlab data can be accessed from Tcl or Ptolemy using ptcl commands. See the ptcl documentation.
