How do I view the function workspace?

149 views (last 30 days)
I have several functions in my script. When I run the script, the variables do not show up in the base workspace. I don't know how to view the function workspace, hence I can't see the values of my function variables.

global variables are accessible only in routines that also declare the variable to be global.

Your answer with the breakpoints is the best one. Another way would be to use the whos command inside of the function:
whos

Having the same issue but adding workspace; to the .m file did not work. still cannot see the variables of the function from the command line.

@Jeff Bull, do you see the workspace panel? If it was not up, then calling worskapce should show it. And it should show the current values of the variables. If it can't show them all in the workspace, you can double click on the variable name in the workspace to bring it up in the variable editor where you'll be able to see more values of it.
If you set a breakpoint on the line where you call your function you should see in values of the input arguments both in the workspace panel, and in a popup when you hover your cursor over the variables in the source code panel. Are you saying that neither of these methods display the values? Worst vase you can double click the variable name (to select it) and type F9 to show it in the command window, or you can just type the name on the command line.
