I like to create a “report generation” script in Matlab.
Suppose we have a Matlab array, data and we want to export the following to a .tex file:
“The information in the first element of data is X.” This would be followed by a plot of X.
I have already tried help latex in Matlab and aware of the various packages on Matlab file exchange. However I have seen nothing so far that will allow me to export both text and plots in the same Matlab script to a .tex file.
You might want to take a look at this article published in TUGboat (the official magazine of the TeX Users Group):

Generating LaTeX documents through Matlab (S. E. Talole and S. B. Phadke)
Good luck!
