Use save
and load
to store and reload objects:
save filename object load filename object
Saving objects in MAT-files saves:
The full name of the object class, including any package qualifiers
Values of dynamic properties
All property default values defined by the class at the time the first object of the class is saved to the MAT-file.
The names and values of all properties, except properties
that have their Transient
, Constant
,
or Dependent
attributes set to true
.
The names and values of all other properties, except properties whose current values are the same as the default values specified in the class definition.
For a description of property attributes, see Specify Property Attributes
To save graphics objects, see savefig
.
Note:
Do not use the |
When loading objects from MAT-files, the load
function
restores the object.
load
creates a new object.
If the class ConstructOnLoad
attribute
is set to true
, load
calls
the class constructor with no arguments. Otherwise, load
does
not call the class constructor.
load
assigns the saved property
values to the object properties. These assignments result in calls
to property set methods defined by the class (except in the case of Dependent
, Constant
,
or Transient
properties, which are not saved or
loaded).
load
assigns the default values
saved in the MAT-file to properties whose values were not saved because
the properties we set to the default values when saved. These assignments
result in calls to property set methods defined by the class.
MATLAB® calls property set methods to ensure that property values are still valid in cases where the class definition has changed.
For information on property set methods, see Property Set Methods.
If a new version of a class removes or renames a property, load
can
generate an error when attempting to set the altered or deleted property.
When an error occurs while an object is being loaded from a file, MATLAB does one of the following:
If the class defines a loadobj
method, MATLAB returns
the saved values to the loadobj
method in a struct
.
If the class does not define a loadobj
method, MATLAB silently
ignores the errors. The load
function reconstitutes
the object with property values that do not produce an error.
In the struct
passed to the loadobj
method,
the field names correspond to the property names. The field values
are the saved values for the corresponding properties.
If the saved object derives from multiple superclasses that
have private properties with same name, the struct
contains
only the property value of the most direct superclass.

and loadobj
methods,
