Version History

Introduced in R2014b

R2016b: LibraryBrowser.LBStandalone object replaces LibraryBrowser.LibraryBrowser2 object

In previous releases, these two commands returned a LibraryBrowser.LibraryBrowser2 object:

lb = slLibraryBrowser
lb = LibraryBrowser.LibraryBrowser2

Starting in R2016b, each command returns a LibraryBrowser.LBStandalone object. The functions to access Library Browser operations such as show and refresh support LibraryBrowser.LBStandalone objects.
