All user experience levels to benefit from new graphics, big data capabilities, and improved collaboration features
BANGALORE, India – October, 2014:–MathWorks today announced a major new release of MATLAB as part of its Release 2014b thatincludes a new graphics system, big data capabilitiesandimproved collaboration features for packaging and sharing code, and for source control integration. With these new capabilities, engineers and scientists in all major industriescan more easily analyze and visualize their data.
- Graphics System
The updated default colors, fonts, and styles in the new graphics system in MATLAB makeit easier to interpret and gain insight from your data. New syntax for changing properties of graphicsobjects makes it simpler to customize visualizations. Additional new features include rotatable tick labels, support for multilingual text and symbols, and automatic updating of date and time tick labels.
- Big Data Support
Additional big data capabilitieswithin MATLAB provide more efficient ways to process data sets that don’t fit into memory. These include simplified ways to access and analyze big data text files and databases, and support for the MapReduce programming technique directly within MATLAB. These capabilities also scale for use on the big data platform, Hadoop.
- Collaboration and Sharing
MATLAB 2014bnow offers Gitand Subversion source control system integration through the Current Folder Browser, including the ability to sync from web-hosted repositories such as those on GitHub.Custom toolboxes can be packaged as single, installable files. This makes it easier to distribute, as well as install and manage the shared code.
“Release 2014b is a culmination of years of hard work across many teams,” said Kevin Cohan, Product Marketing Manager, MathWorks. “It speaks directly to customer needs while also providing additional capabilities that support key industry needs such as the ability to more easily process and analyze big data.”
