matlab.metadata.Namespace.fromName

Class: matlab.metadata.Namespace
Namespace: matlab.metadata

(Not recommended) Return matlab.metadata.Namespace object for specified namespace

Renamed from meta.package.fromName in R2024a

matlab.metadata.Namespace.fromName is not recommended. Use namespaceClasses, namespaceFunctions, and innerNamespaces instead. (since R2026a)

Syntax

mnsp = matlab.metadata.Namespace.fromName(namespaceName)

Description

mnsp = matlab.metadata.Namespace.fromName(namespaceName) returns the matlab.metadata.Namespace object associated with the specified namespace. If namespaceName is a nested namespace, then you must provide the fully qualified name (for example, nsp1.nsp2).

R2026a: Method is hidden and not recommended

This method is hidden and no longer recommended. For information about the contents of namespaces, use namespaceClasses, namespaceFunctions, and innerNamespaces instead.

R2024a: Namespace and class name for method changed

The meta.package.fromName method has a new namespace and class name, matlab.metadata.Namespace.fromName. The behavior will remain the same, and MATLAB^® will continue to recognize the old name.
