Defining Autoinit Input Cells

You can use autoinit cells to specify MATLAB commands to be automatically evaluated each time an M-book is opened. This is a quick and easy way to initialize the workspace. Autoinit cells are simply input cells with the following additional characteristics:

• Notebook evaluates the autoinit cells when it opens the M-book.
• Notebook displays the commands in autoinit cells using dark blue characters.

Autoinit cells are otherwise identical to input cells.

Creating an Autoinit Cell

You can create an autoinit cell in two ways:

• Enter the MATLAB command as text, then convert the command to an autoinit cell by selecting Notebook -> Define AutoInit Cell.
• If you already entered the MATLAB command as an input cell, you can convert the input cell to an autoinit cell. Either select the input cell or position the cursor in the cell, then select Notebook -> Define AutoInit Cell.

See Evaluating MATLAB Commands for information about evaluating autoinit cells.
