Icon of the Matlab in Slackware

For create the icons after matlab installed:

# cd /usr/local/bin/

# ln -s /usr/local/MATLAB/R2016a/bin/matlab matlab

Create in the system's menu the Matlab item and, in the Command item, put:


matlab -desktop -nosplash

-desktop is a flag needed to run Matlab without a terminal.

-nosplash is a flag preventing the splash screen from showing and taking up a temporary space in your task bar.

To download the icon:
