How do I create a class with functional syntax, like griddedInterpolant?

The documentation for the griddedInterpolant has an example like the following:

    [X1, X2] = ndgrid(1:10,1:10);
    V = X1.^2 + X2.^2;
    F = griddedInterpolant(X1,X2,V, 'cubic');
    [X1q, X2q] = ndgrid(1:0.5:10,1:0.5:10);
    Vq = F(X1q,X2q);

In the last line the object is called like it is a function. Can I create a class with this syntax, and if so, how?

Yes. See the examples on this documentation page and this documentation page that show how to overload indexing to support this pattern.
