CS 726 
   			     MATLAB Setup
Available from course homepage:	http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~swright/cs726.html
(This is file ~cs726-1/public/MATLAB.setup on the CS Unix file system)

To set up your account on a linux machine to use MATLAB, do the following:

If logged in directly on a linux machine (e.g. emperor01 to emperor40) then:

At the unix prompt, immediately after you login, do the following:
  
emperor10> mkdir matlab
emperor10> cp ~cs726-1/public/startup.m  ~/matlab/startup.m
emperor10> matlab &
 
The last command should set up a separate window in which matlab
should be running.  MATLAB has a built in editor that you should
use that mimics many of the standard windows key operations.  It
will enable you to create any `m' files that you need for your work.
The function files that are created by the instructor can be found
in the public directory:   

  ~cs726-1/public  
  
are now available to you for use in MATLAB. For example the function
file pdip.m implements an interior-point method for linear programming.

If the start up time for MATLAB is too long for you, and you do not
use the "Matlab desktop", then the following might be useful to you:

emperor10> matlab -nojvm  
This disables the Java virtual machine, and the Matlab desktop will
not start.  Alternatively:
        
emperor10> matlab -nodesktop      
This disables the Matlab desktop, and allows the JVM to start.

For any homework assignments using Matlab you should hand in your 
results produced as follows:
 
emperor10> matlab
>> diary hwkYY.lastname.firstname
>> load hwkYY
>> .....whatever homework YY requires 
>> diary off
>> exit
emperor10> print -2up hwkYY.lastname.firstname

Remote Unix Machine Users 
-------------------------
Suppose you are logged remotely on a machine called cheddar.
On a cheddar window you do the following:

cheddar> xhost +emperor10

In the emperor10 window on cheddar:

emperor10> setenv DISPLAY cheddar:0
emperor10> matlab

First-Time Users
----------------
Go to a Unix terminal that is a displaying a login window. 
Type in "newuser" without quotes next to login and hit return.
Follow next instruction:
[Type] UW Identification Number (10 digits)
and subsequent instructions.
