Shipping a MATLAB Runtime Application

This chapter includes some final considerations for packaging and shipping a professional-looking product.

Splash Screen

A MATLAB runtime GUI application can display a custom splash screen at startup. The splash screen image is shown for a few seconds, and typically contains the product name and logo, company name, and copyright information.

Creating the Splash Screen

You can create a splash screen with the MATLAB imwrite function, or with any graphics application that can save an image file in the BMP format (8-bit). Name the splash screen file splash.bmp, and place it in either the toolbox\local directory or the startup directory. An example splash.bmp file is included in the toolbox\runtime directory. Note that the amount of space that the splash screen occupies on the user's display depends on the resolution of the device. Note also that on both UNIX and PC platforms, if the splash screen has an 8-bit image (256 colors or fewer), then it will still look right even if your users have only 256 colors available.
