I am using classes and static methods to ‘scope’ functions in a namespace, similar to C#. However, every time I add a new method to a class, at first it is not found. I have to restart the MATLAB environment (2007a) for the new methods to be recognised.

Surely there is an ‘update’ or ‘refresh’ type command that I can use so that I do not have to restart the MATLAB environment each time I add a function?

    Issuing this call to CLEAR should do it:

    clear classes
    

    One unfortunate side effect of this is that it also effectively issues a clear all, which clears all of the variables in the workspace as well (however, this would happen anyway when you close and restart MATLAB). This clearing of the workspace actually serves a purpose, since it will remove any variables of the same type as the old version of your class, which potentially wouldn’t work correctly with the new version of your class.

    The function REHASH may work, but I doubt it (I think it deals more with file paths than class definitions).
