Re: Wishlist for R2007b



[0] Optional stack and heap control. If a calculation will
run out of memory, allow the ability to optionally use disk
space as virtual memory **independent** of the OS. For
example, inform Matlab that K:\ (windows) which has a 250 GB
drive can be used for up to 50 GB (say) of virtual memory.
Let matlab open memory-mapped file(s) to use as "last
resort" memory.

[1] Command window unicode: allow fprintf-style outputs
other than English. For example, Asian scripts.

[2] Command window font control: fprintf-style outputs with
colors, font control and so on. Combine with [1]?

[3] Support at least one open source C++ compiler for MEX
generation for win32/64 platforms (even if its limited to
gcc). Limiting use to the Lcc C-compiler is rather annoying.

[4] Fast kill option. Too many times matlab locks in a deep
calculation I'd like to quickly kill (sometimes even
taskmangler can't kill it). Use a separate process to
monitor the 'fast-kill' debug button. If this is not
realistic, allow matlab to be queried by a command window to
determine running processes within it and allow them to be
individually terminated. Without bringing the entire thing down.

[5] Optional figure redraws. With multiple figure windows
open or particularly complicated 3d plots being rotated,
matlab will slow to a crawl trying to redraw them. One at a
time, front to back. Allow user to specify certain figures
as "yes/no automatic refresh"

[6] Help file: A definitive, official matlab-language
specification including operator precedence and so on.

As you can see, my email address is an incinerator, so
please post all replies here.
