You could make your class a value class rather than a handle class or you could make your class Copyable. By subclassing matlab.mixin.Copyable the class inherits a copy method that:
- Copies data without calling class constructors or property set functions and therefore produces no side effects.
- Enables subclasses to customize the copy behavior
When you need to make random changes to the object that won't affect the "main" instance of your object, pass a copy. When you want to have two instances that have normal handle semantics (changing one changes the other) use non-indexed assignment to create the second instance.
