Input Arguments

collapse all

Path to the main file used to build the application, specified as a row character vector or a string scalar. The file must be a MATLAB function, class, or app of one of the following types: .m, .p, .mlx, .mlapp, or a valid MEX file.

Example: 'mymagic.m'

Data Types: char | string

Name-Value Pair Arguments

Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

Example: 'Verbose','on'

Additional files to be included in the standalone application, specified as a character vector, a string scalar, a string array, or a cell array of character vectors. File paths can be relative to the current working directory or absolute.

Example: 'AdditionalFiles',["myvars.mat","myfunc.m"]

Data Types: char | string | cell

Flag to automatically include data files, specified as 'on' or 'off', or as numeric or logical 1 (true) or 0 (false). A value of 'on' is equivalent to true, and 'off' is equivalent to false. Thus, you can use the value of this property as a logical value. The value is stored as an on/off logical value of type matlab.lang.OnOffSwitchState.

  • If you set this property to 'on', then data files that are provided as inputs to certain functions (load, fopen, etc) are automatically included in the standalone application.

  • If you set this property to 'off', then data files must be added to the application using the AdditionalFiles property.

Example: 'AutoDetectDataFiles','Off'

Path to a help file containing help text for the end user of the application, specified as a character vector or a string scalar. The path can be relative to the current working directory or absolute.

Example: 'CustomHelpTextFile','D:\Documents\MATLAB\work\helpfile.txt'

Data Types: char | string

Flag to embed the standalone archive, specified as 'on' or 'off', or as numeric or logical 1 (true) or 0 (false). A value of 'on' is equivalent to true, and 'off' is equivalent to false. Thus, you can use the value of this property as a logical value. The value is stored as an on/off logical value of type matlab.lang.OnOffSwitchState.

  • If you set this property to 'on', then the standalone archive is embedded into the standalone executable.

  • If you set this property to 'off', then the standalone archive is generated as a separate file.

Note

This property is ignored for Java libraries.

Example: 'EmbedArchive','Off'

Data Types: logical

Path to an icon image, specified as a character vector or a string scalar. The image is used as the icon for the standalone application executable. The path can be relative to the current working directory or absolute. Accepted image types are .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .bmp, and .gif.

The default path is:

matlabroot\toolbox\compiler\resources\default_icon_48.png

Example: 'ExecutableIcon','D:\Documents\MATLAB\work\images\myIcon.png'

Data Types: char | string

Name of the generated application, specified as a character vector or a string scalar. The default value is the file name of AppFile. Target output names must begin with a letter or underscore character and contain only alpha-numeric characters or underscores.

Example: 'ExecutableName','MagicSquare'

Data Types: char | string

Path to the splash image, specified as a character vector or a string scalar. The image is used as the splash screen for the standalone application. The path can be relative to the current working directory or absolute. Accepted image types are .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .bmp, and .gif. The image is resized to 400 pixels by 400 pixels.

Example: 'D:\Documents\MATLAB\work\images\mySplash.png'

Data Types: char | string

Version of the executable, specified as a character vector or a string scalar.

Note

This is only used on Windows.

Example: '4.0'

Data Types: char | string

Path to the output directory where the build files are saved, specified as a character vector or a string scalar.

If no path is specified, a build folder named ExecutableNamestandaloneApplication will be created in the current working directory.

Example: 'OutputDir','D:\Documents\MATLAB\work\MagicSquarestandaloneApplication'

Interpret command line inputs as numeric values, specified as 'on' or 'off', or as numeric or logical 1 (true) or 0 (false). A value of 'on' is equivalent to true, and 'off' is equivalent to false. Thus, you can use the value of this property as a logical value. The value is stored as an on/off logical value of type matlab.lang.OnOffSwitchState.

  • If you set this property to 'on', then command line inputs will be treated as numeric MATLAB doubles.

  • If you set this property to 'off', then command line inputs will be treated as MATLAB character vectors.

Example: 'TreatInputsAsNumeric','On'

Flag to control build verbosity, specified as 'on' or 'off', or as numeric or logical 1 (true) or 0 (false). A value of 'on' is equivalent to true, and 'off' is equivalent to false. Thus, you can use the value of this property as a logical value. The value is stored as an on/off logical value of type matlab.lang.OnOffSwitchState.

  • If you set this property to 'on', then the MATLAB command window displays progress information indicating code generation stages and compiler output during the build process.

  • If you set this property to 'off', then the command window does not display progress information.

Example: 'Verbose','On'

Data Types: logical
