% Observe a falta de aspas no formulário de comando: entradas são sempre
% passadas como texto literal - não pode passar valores de variáveis.
% Além disso, não pode receber saída:

% Logicals
1 > 5 % ans = 0
10 >= 10 % ans = 1

% Logicals can be applied to matrices:
A > 5
% for each element, if condition is true, that element is 1 in returned matrix
A( A > 5 )
% returns a vector containing the elements in A for which condition is true

% Cells

A(1, :) =[] % Delete the first row of the matrix
A(:, 1) =[] % Delete the first column of the matrix

transpose(A) % Transpose the matrix, which is the same as:
A one
ctranspose(A) % Hermitian transpose the matrix
% (the transpose, followed by taking complex conjugate of each element)




% Element by Element Arithmetic vs. Matrix Arithmetic
% On their own, the arithmetic operators act on whole matrices. When preceded
% by a period, they act on each element instead. For example:
A * B % Matrix multiplication
A .* B % Multiple each element in A by its corresponding element in B

% There are several pairs of functions, where one acts on each element, and
% the other (whose name ends in m) acts on the whole matrix.
exp(A) % exponentiate each element
expm(A) % calculate the matrix exponential
sqrt(A) % take the square root of each element
sqrtm(A) %  find the matrix whose square is A


% Plotting
x = 0:.10:2*pi; % Creates a vector that starts at 0 and ends at 2*pi with increments of .1
y = sin(x);
plot(x,y)
xlabel('x axis')
ylabel('y axis')
title('Plot of y = sin(x)')
axis([0 2*pi -1 1]) % x range from 0 to 2*pi, y range from -1 to 1

plot(x,y1,'-',x,y2,'--',x,y3,':') % For multiple functions on one plot
legend('Line 1 label', 'Line 2 label') % Label curves with a legend

% Alternative method to plot multiple functions in one plot.
% while 'hold' is on, commands add to existing graph rather than replacing it
plot(x, y)
hold on
plot(x, z)
hold off

loglog(x, y) % A log-log plot
semilogx(x, y) % A plot with logarithmic x-axis
semilogy(x, y) % A plot with logarithmic y-axis

fplot (@(x) x^2, [2,5]) % plot the function x^2 from x=2 to x=5

grid on % Show grid; turn off with 'grid off'
axis square % Makes the current axes region square
axis equal % Set aspect ratio so data units are the same in every direction

scatter(x, y); % Scatter-plot
hist(x); % Histogram

z = sin(x);
plot3(x,y,z); % 3D line plot

pcolor(A) % Heat-map of matrix: plot as grid of rectangles, coloured by value
contour(A) % Contour plot of matrix
mesh(A) % Plot as a mesh surface

h = figure	% Create new figure object, with handle f
figure(h) % Makes the figure corresponding to handle h the current figure
close(h) % close figure with handle h
close all % close all open figure windows
close % close current figure window

shg % bring an existing graphics window forward, or create new one if needed
clf clear % clear current figure window, and reset most figure properties

% Properties can be set and changed through a figure handle.
% You can save a handle to a figure when you create it.
% The function gcf returns a handle to the current figure
h = plot(x, y); % you can save a handle to a figure when you create it
set(h, 'Color', 'r')
% 'y' yellow; 'm' magenta, 'c' cyan, 'r' red, 'g' green, 'b' blue, 'w' white, 'k' black
set(h, 'LineStyle', '--')
 % '--' is solid line, '---' dashed, ':' dotted, '-.' dash-dot, 'none' is no line
get(h, 'LineStyle')


% The function gca returns a handle to the axes for the current figure
set(gca, 'XDir', 'reverse'); % reverse the direction of the x-axis

% To create a figure that contains several axes in tiled positions, use subplot
subplot(2,3,1); % select the first position in a 2-by-3 grid of subplots
plot(x1); title('First Plot') % plot something in this position
subplot(2,3,2); % select second position in the grid
plot(x2); title('Second Plot') % plot something there


% To use functions or scripts, they must be on your path or current directory
path % display current path
addpath /path/to/dir % add to path
rmpath /path/to/dir % remove from path
cd /path/to/move/into % change directory


% Variables can be saved to .mat files
save('myFileName.mat') % Save the variables in your Workspace
load('myFileName.mat') % Load saved variables into Workspace

% M-file Scripts
% A script file is an external file that contains a sequence of statements.
% They let you avoid repeatedly typing the same code in the Command Window
% Have .m extensions

% M-file Functions
% Like scripts, and have the same .m extension
% But can accept input arguments and return an output
% Also, they have their own workspace (ie. different variable scope).
% Function name should match file name (so save this example as double_input.m).
% 'help double_input.m' returns the comments under line beginning function
function output = double_input(x)
	%double_input(x) returns twice the value of x
	output = 2*x;
end
double_input(6) % ans = 12


% You can also have subfunctions and nested functions.
% Subfunctions are in the same file as the primary function, and can only be
% called by functions in the file. Nested functions are defined within another
% functions, and have access to both its workspace and their own workspace.

% If you want to create a function without creating a new file you can use an
% anonymous function. Useful when quickly defining a function to pass to
% another function (eg. plot with fplot, evaluate an indefinite integral
% with quad, find roots with fzero, or find minimum with fminsearch).
% Example that returns the square of it's input, assigned to to the handle sqr:
sqr = @(x) x.^2;
sqr(10) % ans = 100
doc function_handle % find out more

% User input
a = input('Enter the value: ')

% Stops execution of file and gives control to the keyboard: user can examine
% or change variables. Type 'return' to continue execution, or 'dbquit' to exit
keyboard

% Reading in data (also xlsread/importdata/imread for excel/CSV/image files)
fopen(filename)

% Output
disp(a) % Print out the value of variable a
disp('Hello World') % Print out a string
fprintf % Print to Command Window with more control

% Conditional statements (the parentheses are optional, but good style)
if (a > 15)
	disp('Greater than 15')
elseif (a == 23)
	disp('a is 23')
else
	disp('neither condition met')
end

% Looping
% NB. looping over elements of a vector/matrix is slow!
% Where possible, use functions that act on whole vector/matrix at once
for k = 1:5
	disp(k)
end

k = 0;
while (k < 5)
	k = k + 1;
end

% Timing code execution: 'toc' prints the time since 'tic' was called
tic
A = rand(1000);
A*A*A*A*A*A*A;

% Classes
% Matlab can support object-oriented programming. 
% Classes must be put in a file of the class name with a .m extension. 
% To begin, we create a simple class to store GPS waypoints.
% Begin WaypointClass.m
classdef WaypointClass % The class name.
  properties % The properties of the class behave like Structures
    latitude 
    longitude 
  end
  methods 
    % This method that has the same name of the class is the constructor. 
    function obj = WaypointClass(lat, lon)
      obj.latitude = lat;
      obj.longitude = lon;
    end

    % Other functions that use the Waypoint object
    function r = multiplyLatBy(obj, n)
      r = n*[obj.latitude];
    end

    % If we want to add two Waypoint objects together without calling
    % a special function we can overload Matlab's arithmetic like so:
    function r = plus(o1,o2)
      r = WaypointClass([o1.latitude] +[o2.latitude], ...
                        [o1.longitude]+[o2.longitude]);
    end
  end
end
% End WaypointClass.m

% We can create an object of the class using the constructor
a = WaypointClass(45.0, 45.0)

% Class properties behave exactly like Matlab Structures.
a.latitude = 70.0
a.longitude = 25.0

% Methods can be called in the same way as functions
ans = multiplyLatBy(a,3)

% The method can also be called using dot notation. In this case, the object 
% does not need to be passed to the method.
ans = a.multiplyLatBy(a,1/3)

% Matlab functions can be overloaded to handle objects. 
% In the method above, we have overloaded how Matlab handles 
% the addition of two Waypoint objects.
b = WaypointClass(15.0, 32.0)
c = a + b
