Why does the function 'details' show more than 'disp' for objects?
显示 更早的评论
According to the documentation, the 'details' function provides more information when the input is an object than 'disp'. However, looking at the code of 'details' (which is not a built-in function), it just invokes 'disp'. Then how can it result in a different output? Used MATLAB version: R2015b, Linux 64 bit

So the disp() source you are looking at is only used for objects that do not have a more specific method.

So the details() source you are looking at is only used for objects that do not have a more specific method.
That is, there is not just one details.m that is called for everything. When MATLAB encounters a call to details(), it first checks to see if the parameter is an object (in the Object Oriented Programming sense). If it is an object, then it checks to see if there is a details method defined for that object; if it is then it calls that details method, rather than calling the details.m that you found.
Example:
>> p = plot(rand(1,5)); which details(p)
details is a built-in method % matlab.graphics.chart.primitive.Line method
Notice that I passed p in to which, so that it can look up to find out which details() method to call for an object with the same data type as p has.
