Requires functions.R and a directory structure that includes:
project\
|-- derived\
|-- results\
|-- scripts\
`-- project.Rproj
Create an Rmd script in scripts/. Initialize knitr.
library(knitr)
opts_knit$set(root.dir = "../")
opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE, comment = NA, message = FALSE)Sourcing functions.R loads my R functions and writes user-defined MATLAB functions to file in the derived/ directory.
source('scripts/functions.R')Write the m-file.
The optional comment % print_stop separates lines above for printing (code I want students to see) from lines below (concealed from students) when printing code using print_mfile().
# step response m-file
m_script <- "% assign parameters
K = 1;
wn = 100;
z = 0.5;
% create the transfer function
n = K;
d = [1/wn^2 2*z/wn 1];
sys = tf(n, d);
% compute and plot the unit step response
step(sys)
grid
% print_stop
% save results
write_sys(sys, 'results/sys04.txt')
write_gcf(gcf, 'results/m04_step.png', 6, 4)
"# end m-fileRun the m-file.
The function run_mfile() launches MATLAB only if the code has changed since the last run or if this run is the first. To force the code to run, delete the derived/old.rds file (if it exists).
run_mfile(m_script, prefix = "m04")If, when running MATLAB from R, the Command window shows a "path" warning, run set_path().
Finally, print the code I want students to see, the transfer function, and the Bode plot.
# print the m-file up to the line % print_stop
print_mfile(m_script)% assign parameters
K = 1;
wn = 100;
z = 0.5;
% create the transfer function
n = K;
d = [1/wn^2 2*z/wn 1];
sys = tf(n, d);
% compute and plot the unit step response
step(sys)
grid
# print the sys tfansfer function from tf()
print_sys('results/sys04.txt') 1
