tag suchas <img src=sphere.jpg> . If you are not happy with the size
of the resulting image, you can modify it with any image editor. (Almost
any PC these days comes with one; in UNIX you can use ImageMagick C ,
xv C , or many other programs.) If you are planning to modify the image
before posting it, it may be preferable to have MATLAB store the figure in
TIFF format instead; that way no resolution is lost before you begin the
editing process.
If you are an advanced MATLAB user and you want to use MATLAB as an
engine to power an interactive web site, then you might want to purchase the
MATLAB Web Server, which is designed exactly for this purpose. You can see
samples of what it can do at

Configuring Your Web Browser
In this section, we explain how to configure the most popular Web browsers
to display M-files in the M-file editor or to launch M-books automatically.
Microsoft Internet Explorer
If MATLAB and Word are installed on your Windows computer then Internet
Explorer should automatically know how to open M-books. With M-files, it
may give you a choice of downloading the file or “opening” it; if you choose the
latter, it will appear in the M-file editor, a slightly stripped-down version of
the Editor/Debugger.
Netscape Navigator
The situation with Netscape Navigator is slightly more complicated. If you
clickonanM-file(withthe .m extension),itwillprobablyappearasaplaintext
file. You can save the file and then open it if you wish with the M-file editor.
On a PC (but not in UNIX) you can open the M-file editor without launch-
ing MATLAB; look for it in the MATLAB group under Start : Programs ,
or else look for the executable file meditor.exe (in MATLAB 5.3 and ear-
lier, Medit.exe ). If you click on an M-book (withthe .doc extension), your
browser will probably offer you a choice of opening it or saving it, unless
you have preconfigured Netscape to open it without prompting. (This
depends also on your security settings.) What program Netscape uses to open
