namedargs2cell
Converts a scalar structure into a cell array of name-value pairs.
Category: Programming > Functions
Syntax
C = namedargs2cell(S)Returns a row cell array {name1, value1, name2, value2, ...} built from the fields of S.
Description
Many functions take options as trailing name-value pairs. Keeping the options in a structure is convenient for defaults and merging, and namedargs2cell turns that structure into the form the function expects. Expanding the result with a comma-separated list, f(x, C{:}), passes the options through.
The field names are returned as character vectors and the values are stored unchanged.
Input arguments
S- Scalar structure. Each field name becomes a name and its content the matching value.
Output arguments
C- Cell array of size 1-by-2n for a structure with n fields, in field order.
Example
Passing options stored in a structure
opts = struct('LineWidth', 2, 'Color', 'r');
C = namedargs2cell(opts)
plot(1:5, (1:5).^2, C{:})Output
C = 1×4 cell
{'LineWidth'} {[2]} {'Color'} {'r'}
