You can package MATLAB® files to create a toolbox to share
with others. These files can include MATLAB code, data, apps,
examples, and documentation. When you create a toolbox, MATLAB generates
a single installation file (.mltbx) that enables
you or others to install your toolbox.
matlab.addons.toolbox.packageToolbox |

matlab.addons.toolbox.toolboxVersion |
Query or modify version of toolbox |
matlab.addons.toolbox.installToolbox |
Install toolbox file |
matlab.addons.toolbox.uninstallToolbox |

Manage Java Class Path for Toolboxes
Add or instruct users to add files to the Java® class path when they install a toolbox.
Help text appears in the Command Window when you use
the help function. Create help text for your program
by inserting comments at the beginning.
When you use the doc command to
display help for a class, MATLAB automatically displays information
that it derives from the class definition.
Check Which Programs Have Help
To determine which of your programs files have help text, you can generate a Help Report.
Create Help Summary Files — Contents.m
A Contents.m file contains comment
lines that summarize the programs in a particular folder. The help, doc,
and ver functions use this file to display information
about folders.
If you create a toolbox that works with MathWorks® products, you can include custom documentation that is viewable in the MATLAB Help browser. Custom documentation can include figures, diagrams, screen captures, equations, and formatting to make your toolbox help more usable.
Display examples such as videos, published program scripts, or other files that illustrate the use of your programs in the MATLAB help browser.
