insert a matlab matrix into latex automatically

March 31st, 2006 by Lawrence David

manually writing out matlab matrices in latex is really tedious. here’s how to save yourself the time:

assume you have some matrix L

>> s = sym(L);
>> v = vpa(s,5); # assign numerical precision
>> latex(v)

matlab should now spit out the latex source code that you can directly copy into your .tex file.

Could you help me in inserting a matrix within a line…all my efforts are producing the matrix in the next line. Thanks in advance.
