Root of the hierarchy of metaclasses
The meta.MetaData
class forms the root of the metadata class hierarchy. Metadata objects represent MATLAB® class definitions and the constituent parts of those definitions, such as properties and methods. Metadata objects provide a programmatic interface to information about class definitions.
MATLAB uses instances of the meta.MetaData
class as the default object to fill in missing elements in arrays of metaclass objects.
Use the findobj
and findprop
handle
class methods to search the metadata hierarchy for metadata objects. For information on using metadata, see Class Introspection and Metadata.
The meta.MetaData
class is a handle
class.
You cannot create an object of this class directly. To access class metadata, use the metaclass
function.
