To work with this example:
Assume the following MATLAB® function has been created:
function df = getPlot() f = figure('Visible','off'); x = -2:0.25:2; [X,Y] = meshgrid(x); Z = X.*exp(-X.^2-Y.^2); contour3(X,Y,Z,30); df = webfigure(f); close(f); end
Assume that the function getPlot
has
been deployed in a .NET assembly with a namespace of MyComponent
and
a class of MyComponentclass
.
Assume the MATLAB Runtime has been installed. If not, refer to Install MATLAB Runtime.
If you are running on a system with 64-bit architecture, use the information in Advanced Configuration of a WebFigure to work with WebFigures unless you are deploying a website which is 32-bit only and you have a 32-bit MATLAB Runtime installed.
To implement WebFigures in .NET for MATLAB Compiler SDK™ using the Quick Start approach, do the following:
Start Microsoft® Visual Studio®.
Select File > New > Web Site to open.
Select one of the template options and click OK.
Caution Do not select Empty Web Site as it is not possible to create a WebFigure using this option. |
In your Visual Studio project, add a reference
to
.matlabroot
\toolbox\dotnetbuilder\bin\arch
\v2.0\WebFiguresService.dll
If you are using the MATLAB Runtime, matlabroot
is
the location of the installed MATLAB Runtime.
If you are using MATLAB Compiler SDK,
is
the location of the installed MATLAB Compiler SDK. matlabroot
Note: If you are running on a system with 64-bit architecture, use the information in Advanced Configuration of a WebFigure to work with WebFigures unless you are deploying a website which is 32-bit only and you have a 32-bit MATLAB Runtime installed. |
Install WebFigureControl Into Microsoft Visual Studio Toolbox.
Drag the WebFigureControl
from
the toolbox to your web page. After dragging, the web page displays
the following default figure.
You can resize the control as you would any other .NET web control.
Switch to the Design view in Microsoft Visual Studio by selecting View > Designer.
Test the web page by "playing" it in Microsoft Visual Studio. Select Debug > Start Debugging. The page should appear as follows.
Interact with the default figure on the page using your mouse. Click one of the three control icons at the top of the figure to activate the desired control, select the desired region of the figure you want to manipulate, then click and drag as appropriate. For example, to zoom in on the figure, click the magnifying glass icon, then hover over the figure.
Close the page as you would any other window, automatically exiting debug or "play" mode.
The WebFigureService
you created
has been verified as functioning properly and you can attach a custom
WebFigure to the web page:
To enable return of the webfigure
and
to bind it to the webfigure
control, add a reference
to MWArray
to your project and a reference to the
deployed component you created earlier (in Assumptions About the Example). See Common Integration Tasks for more information.
In Microsoft Visual Studio, access the code for the web page by selecting View > Code.
In Microsoft Visual Studio, go to the Page_Load
method,
and add this code, depending on if you are using the C# or Visual Basic® language.
Adding code to the Page_Load
method ensures it
executes every time the web page loads.
Note: The following code snippets belong to the partial classes generated by your .NET web page. |
C#:
using MyComponent; using MathWorks.MATLAB.NET.WebFigures; protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { MyComponentclass myDeployedComponent = new MyComponentclass(); WebFigureControl1.WebFigure = new WebFigure(myDeployedComponent.getPlot()); }
Visual Basic:
Imports MyComponent Imports MathWorks.MATLAB.NET.WebFigures Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load Dim myDeployedComponent As _ New MyComponentclass() WebFigureControl1.WebFigure = _ New WebFigure(myDeployedComponent.getPlot()) End Sub
Tip
This code causes the deployed component to be reinitialized
upon each refresh of the page. A better implementation would involve
initializing the |
Note:
|
Replay the web page in Microsoft Visual Studio to confirm your WebFigure appears as desired.
