How to get Matlab code into a LaTeX document?

Question

I'm trying to put in my thesis matlab code but the results are not very good. I would get something like that but I don't know what packages using and how to create this result:

Answer 1

I personally prefer the minted package. It's a little trouble to set up by the output is very neat and tidy -- and it has syntax highlighting.

Output:

Code:

\documentclass{article}


\usepackage{minted}

\begin{document}

\definecolor{bg}{rgb}{0.95,0.95,0.95}
\begin{minted}[linenos=true,bgcolor=bg]{matlab}


% Gradient descent algo for linear regression
% author: Nauman (recluze) 

%set the data
X=[1 1 1 1 1 1 1; 22 49 80 26 40 54 91];
Y=[20 24 42 22 23 26 55];
hold on;
plot(X(2,:),Y, 'x');

% set the actual values of W
W = [5.775 0.474]';
YAct = (W' * X);

% GRADIENT DESCENT
W = zeros(2,1);     % initialize W to all zeros
m = size(X,2);      % number of instances
n = size(W,1);      % number of parameters
alpha = 0.000025;    % gradient descent step size

disp('Starting Weights:');

\end{minted}   
\end{document}

You'll have to call pdflatex with --shell-escape though and you will have to install a package that provides pygmentize command.
