MATLAB Object-Oriented Programming

• The MySuper class defines a loadobj method to enable an object of this class to be
  loaded directly.


• The subclass loadobj method calls a method named reload after it constructs the
  subclass object.


• reload first calls the superclass reload method to assign superclass property values
  and then assigns the subclass property value.

classdef MySuper

properties

X

Y

end

methods

function S = saveobj(obj)

S.PointX = obj.X;

S.PointY = obj.Y;

end

function obj = reload(obj,S)

obj.X = S.PointX;

obj.Y = S.PointY;

end

end

methods (Static)

function obj = loadobj(S)

if isstruct(s)

obj = MySuper;

obj = reload(obj,S);

end

end

end

end

Call the superclass saveobj and loadobj methods from the subclass saveobj and

loadobj methods.

classdef MySub < MySuper

properties

Z

end

methods

function S = saveobj(obj)

S = saveobj@MySuper(obj);

S.PointZ = obj.Z;
