dotReference

Class: matlab.mixin.indexing.RedefinesDot
Namespace: matlab.mixin.indexing

Customize handling of object index references that begin with dots

Syntax

varargout = dotReference(obj,indexOp)


Description

varargout = dotReference(obj,indexOp) handles index referencing operations that begin with dots and index into fields that are inaccessible or nonexistent, such as obj.PrivateProp or obj.NotAProp{1}(2). The method returns the indexed values from obj. The indexOp object contains the indices being referenced.

Input Arguments

obj — Object that implements customized dot indexing

object

Object that implements customized parentheses indexing by inheriting from matlab.mixin.indexing.RedefinesDot.

indexOp — Types of indexing operations and indices referenced

array of IndexingOperation objects

Types of indexing operations and indices referenced, specified as an array of IndexingOperation objects. For a dot reference, the first object in the array has a Type property of Dot.

Output Arguments

varargout — Indexed values

cell array

The indexed values returned from the reference operation, specified as a cell array.
