Janklab

Janklab

Janklab is a general-purpose library of functions, classes, and extensions for Matlab. It is informed by my background in quantitive analysis for finance, but should be useful in other application areas as well. It is designed for both interactive Matlab use and for building applications and production Matlab code.

See https://github.com/apjanke/janklab for details and more documentation.

Getting Started

Once you’ve installed Janklab, run init_janklab in Matlab.

Features

• New general-purpose “computer sciencey” data structures and functions
• Excel I/O for programmatic reading and writing without needing the Excel application
• MDBC, an enhancement to the Database Toolbox
• The Dispstr API for customized object display
• Extension to Matlab’s validator functions
• A nicer XML reading API
• Some additional date/time classes
• Lots of miscellaneous functions and objects

Setup

You must call the init_janklab function before using the stuff in this Toolbox. Janklab needs to do some initialization work that is not taken care of by the Matlab Toolbox mechanism itself.

If you want to use the MDBC Database Toolbox extension, you will need to install JDBC drivers for the database servers you want to connect to and get them on your Matlab JAVACLASSPATH. See doc javaclasspath for info on how to do this.
