This method is called for expressions of the form
c = a(b), c = a{b}, c = a.b
and overloading the subsref method allows you to define the meaning of these expressions for objects of class a. These expressions are mapped to a call of the form
b = subsref(a,s)
where s is a structure array with two fields. The first field is
type is a string containing either '()' or '{}' or '.' depending on the form of the call. subs is a cell array or string containing the the subscript information. When multiple indexing experssions are combined together such as b = a(5).foo{:}, the s array contains the following entries
s(1).type = '()' s(1).subs = {5}
s(2).type = '.' s(2).subs = 'foo'
s(3).type = '{}' s(3).subs = ':'
