Interacting with image data
An application isn’t of much use if it can’t interact with data — in the case of MATLAB, the formulas, scripts, Live Scripts, functions, Live Functions, and plots that you create interact with variables. In fact, even applications that you might think have nothing to do with data manage quite a lot of it. For example, you might be tempted to think that games don’t work with data, but even the lowliest Solitaire game saves statistics, which means that it interacts with data. So you can easily see that most applications interact with at least their own data.
Larger, more complex applications, such as MATLAB, also need some method of interacting with data from other applications. For example, you may need to use Excel data from a colleague to perform a calculation. If MATLAB didn’t provide a means to access that data, to import it into MATLAB, you couldn’t use it to perform the calculation.
After you complete the calculation, you may need to send it back to your colleague, but the only application available at the other site is Excel. ...
