Focusing on the big issues has allowed some smaller items to go unnoticed. In this chapter, a few of the more obscure commands and techniques are discussed. The fact that these topics weren't included in the examples implies nothing about their general importance. What it does imply is that MATLAB includes object-oriented tools and capability beyond what has already been discussed. Some of the topics are only useful during debug, while others are only useful under very specific conditions. The brief discussion for each topic provides a starting point. The help browser and other third-party resources help fill in the gaps.
