using publish with a function rather than script

I want to know if I can use matlab's publish functionality to generate a pdf report via a function call. So basically I have a function f , which does plotting and has latex code and I want to do something like

publish(f(a,b),'output.pdf')

Can matlab's publish function do that ?

yes it can. follow my example:

so i started a function called plotme()

 function plotme(A,B)
  figure,plot(A,B)

then to publish this function i need to set the options

 options = struct('format','pdf','codeToEvaluate','plotme(1:10,1:10)')

and then i can go

 publish('plotme.m',options)

Now you can set the destination etc read more here but i couldn't figure out how specify a name.

forgot to mention if you're not trying to do automatically when you run a script or other function. the publish gui/app is much easier to work with.

AND the options strings are case sensitive (at least when i tried) codetoevaluate was different than codeToEvaluate.
