how to use functionsignature.json in matlab2023 in matlab

FunctionSignature.json is a file used by Matlab to provide information about the input and output arguments of a Matlab function.

To use FunctionSignature.json:

  1. Create a folder called toolbox in the root directory of your project.
  2. Inside the toolbox folder, create a subfolder called local.
  3. Put FunctionSignature.json file inside the local folder.
  4. Load the FunctionSignature.json file using the loadHelpData function:
main.m
matlab.internal.language.introspective.loadHelpData('toolbox')
63 chars
2 lines

After loading the file, you can use the built-in Matlab doc function to display the help information for a function, including the input and output argument information.

main.m
doc functionName
17 chars
2 lines

Make sure to replace functionName with the name of the function that you want to get the help information for.

Note: FunctionSignature.json is automatically generated by Matlab and is not meant to be edited manually. It is used by Matlab's code analyzer to improve its understanding of the code, making it better at providing code completions and other type of assistance.
