Syntax highlighting

Along with advocating the pure beauty of math, parts of my blog may be about praising the pure awesomeness of MATLAB. I will say a lot more about why I have learned to love it so much later. What I will need to make these points is a decent way of performing syntax highlighting. Therefore, I gave the WP-syntax plugin a try which supports syntax highlighting for many languages, including MATLAB.

This is what it turns out to look like:

% test
F = fft(eye(4));

Line numbers can be added too:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11

% eyecandy demo: OpenGL rendering of PEAKS function using phong shading
[X,Y,Z] = peaks(99);
figure(1);
clf;
surf(X,Y,Z);
axis vis3d;
colormap copper;
shading interp;
lighting phong;
light;
camlight;

however they do not render very nicely…

The result of the last script would look like that:
