Details:

This is an m-file called myclass.m:


classdef myclass 

properties
  a=1;
  b=2;
  c=3;
end

end



When you create an instance, then try to see the properties none are
displayed.

m=myclass
m =

<object myclass>


With structures the members are displayed:

s.a=1;s.b=2;s.c=3;s
s =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    a =  1
    b =  2
    c =  3

which is very helpful for debugging etc. Would it be possible to do something
similar with classes?

Matlab does the following:

m=myclass
m = 
  myclass with properties:

    a: 1
    b: 2
    c: 3
