Locating Antenna toolbox documentation

In the antenna toolbox example scripts there are calls to em.internal, such as:

[Points, ~, ~] = em.internal.calcpointsinspace( phi, theta, R,coord);

These look like very useful functions but I can't find them in "help" or online. Where can I find documentation for them?

[William May]

I understand these responses. But then these functions (there are others) shouldn't be used in Matlab's toolbox example scripts. Or they should be made "official". Preferably the latter since there is nothing else comparable for some of them.

That's a fair point. I've passed along this feedback to the Antenna Toolbox development team.

If you see similar examples that use internal package functions please rate the example using the "How useful was this information?" box at the end of the example. Once you've given it a rating from 1 to 5 stars you can also provide text feedback and call out the use of the internal package functions in the example. If some of those sound like they'd be useful to you, you could also file an enhancement request with Technical Support for a documented function similar to the internal package functions.

Thanks - I was unaware of the text feedback feature. That's useful to know.

Anything with "internal" in the name, you might need to get a job with Mathworks to see the documentation for.

As stated on this documentation page:

"MathWorks® reserves the use of packages named internal for utility functions used by internal MATLAB code. Functions that belong to an internal package are intended for MathWorks use only. Using functions or classes that belong to an internal package is discouraged. These functions and classes are not guaranteed to work in a consistent manner from one release to the next. Any of these functions and classes might be removed from the MATLAB software in any subsequent release without notice and without documentation in the product release notes."
