matlab.mixin.indexing.OverridesPublicDotMethodCall Class

Description

Classes that inherit from matlab.mixin.indexing.RedefinesDot allow calling public methods with dot notation outside of the class. To force those calls to invoke the dotReference method instead, inherit from matlab.mixin.indexing.OverridesPublicDotMethodCall. For example, obj is an instance of a class that inherits from RedefinesDot and OverridesPublicDotMethodCall. The class defines a public method myMethod. When myMethod is called from outside the class:

When called from inside the class, all three of these cases call the method itself instead of RedefinesDot.

OverridesPublicDotMethodCall must be used with classes that inherit from RedefinesDot, but it cannot be used with classes that inherit from matlab.mixin.indexing.ForbidsPublicDotMethodCall.
