MATLAB Object-Oriented Programming

Implementation

The SharedData class is a handle class, which enables you to reference the same object

data from multiple handle variables:

classdef SharedData < handle

properties

Data1

Data2

end

end

The UseData class is the stub of a class that uses the data stored in the SharedData

class. The UseData class stores the handle to a SharedData object in a constant

property.

classdef UseData

properties (Constant)

Data = SharedData

end

% Class code here

end

The Data property contains the handle of the SharedData object. MATLAB constructs

the SharedData object when loading the UseData class. All subsequently created

instances of the UseData class refer to the same SharedData object.

To initialize the SharedData object properties, load theUseData class by referencing the

constant property.

h = UseData.Data

h =

SharedData with properties:

Data1: []

Data2: []

Use the handle to the SharedData object to assign data to property values:

h.Data1 = 'MyData1';

h.Data2 = 'MyData2';

Each instance of the UseData class refers to the same handle object:
