For this example, copy the contents of the support_package_root\toolbox\mps\matlabclient\demo\mandelflake folder to a separate writeable location on your system, for example, to a folder called mandelflake.

Navigate to the writeable mandelflake folder from the MATLAB command prompt. The mandelflake folder contains a MATLAB function called mandelflake. Use the mcc (MATLAB Compiler) command to create a standalone executable called mandelflake from the mandelflake MATLAB function.

>> cd mandelflake
>> mcc -m mandelflake

This command produces an executable file mandelflake.exe on a Windows^® system.

On Linux^® and macOS, it produces an executable called mandelflake.

Run the executable at the system command prompt to display the Mandelbrot set and Koch snowflake.

C:\mandelflake> mandelflake

Two windows appear, one containing the Mandelbrot set and one displaying the Koch snowflake.

For this example, copy the contents of the support_package_root\toolbox\mps\matlabclient\demo\fractalViewer folder to a separate writeable location on your system, for example, to a folder called fractalViewer. The fractalViewer folder contains the following:

Navigate to the writeable fractalViewer folder from the MATLAB command prompt. Use the mcc (MATLAB Compiler) command to create a shared library called twoFractals.lib from the twoFractals.m MATLAB function.

>> cd fractalViewer
>> mcc -W cpplib:twoFractals twoFractals.m

The twoFractals shared library requires a client to utilize its public interface. Use the mbuild (MATLAB Compiler SDK) function to compile and link the fractalViewer C++ application against the twoFractals shared library. The fractalViewer C++ application invokes the twoFractals function with the appropriate inputs.

>> mbuild fractalViewer.cpp twoFractals.lib

This command produces an executable file fractalViewer.exe and a shared library twoFractals.dll on a Windows system.

On Linux, it produces an executable twoFractals.so and a shared library fractalViewer. On macOS, it produces an executable twoFractals.dylib and a shared library fractalViewer.

Run the fractalViewer executable at the system command prompt to display the Mandelbrot set and Koch snowflake.

C:\fractalViewer> fractalViewer

Two windows appear, one containing the Mandelbrot set and one displaying the Koch snowflake.

For this example, copy the contents of the support_package_root\toolbox\mps\matlabclient\demo\fractalViewer folder to a separate writeable location on your system, for example, to a folder called fractalViewer. The fractalViewer folder contains a MATLAB function twoFractals that displays images of the Mandelbrot set and the Koch snowflake.

Create a MATLAB function signature file twoFractalsFunctionSignatures.json in the writeable fractalViewer folder. You require a MATLAB function signature file when you create a deployable archive of the twoFractals function. For more information, see MATLAB Function Signatures in JSON. A sample MATLAB function signature file follows.

 twoFractalsFunctionSignatures.json

// Function Signatures
// To optionally specify argument types and/or sizes, search for "type"
// and insert the appropriate specifiers inside the brackets. For example:
//
//    "type": ["double", "size=1,1"]
//
// To modify function or parameter help text, search for "purpose" and edit
// the values.
//
// JSON-formatted text below this line.

    "_schemaVersion": "1.1.0",
    "twoFractals": {
        "inputs": [
            {
                "name": "maxIterations",
                "type": [],
                "purpose": ""
            },
            {
                "name": "width",
                "type": [],
                "purpose": ""
            },
            {
                "name": "complexity",
                "type": [],
                "purpose": ""
            }
        ],
        "outputs": [],
        "purpose": " TWOFRACTALS Display Mandelbrot set and Koch snowflake.\n"
    }
}

Navigate to the writeable fractalViewer folder from the MATLAB command prompt. Use the mcc (MATLAB Compiler) command to create a deployable archive twoFractal.ctf from the twoFractals.m MATLAB function.

>> cd fractalViewer
>> mcc('-W','CTF:twoFractals,DISCOVERY:twoFractalsFunctionSignatures.json','-U','twoFractals.m')

Copy the resulting archive, twoFractals.ctf, to the auto_deploy folder of a MATLAB Production Server instance.

Then, install the twoFractals MATLAB Production Server add-on. For example, if your MATLAB Production Server instance has the network address localhost:9910, use the following command:

>> prodserver.addon.install('twoFractals','localhost',9910)

Finally, invoke the twoFractals proxy function:

>> twoFractals(300,600,5)
