How can I define multiple named inputs for a function

This is exactly what I mean!!

The default function eye() admits multiple variables, something like varargin.

Other property is that it displays all the different possibilities!

If someone can help me, I'll be very grateful!

Thank you very much

This is a nice info regarding what you're asking: http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/support-variable-number-of-inputs.html

Hello:

thanks for answering my question. But the example you give me produces just one line of helping dialog, even for varargin.

And I am trying to find a way to display more that a single line help dialog for my function, this way the function would be more helpful in the future.

thanks again

If you want really a fancy tab completion, see this: http://undocumentedmatlab.com/blog/setting-desktop-tab-completions/

for a relatively simple one:

function a = myfunc(var1,var2,var3)
if nargin < 1
        var1 = defaultvalueforvar1;
    end
    if nargin < 2
        var2 = defaultvalueforvar1;
    end
    if nargin < 3
        var3 = defaultvalueforvar1;
    end
end

This will show tab completion for all 3 variable, however only 1 or less than 1 variable needed.
