Overloading Functions

You can overload any function by creating a function of the same name in the class directory. When a function is invoked on an object, MATLAB always looks in the class directory before any other location on the search path. To overload the plot function for a class of objects, for example, simply place your version of plot.m in the appropriate class directory.
