Select Insert > Program Listing. Then type the program. To get colors and control many aspects of the listing format, go to Document > Settings... > LaTeX Preamble and copy there something like:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{hellgelb}{rgb}{1,1,0.85}
\definecolor{colKeys}{rgb}{0,0,1}
\definecolor{colIdentifier}{rgb}{0,0,0}
\definecolor{colComments}{rgb}{1,0,0}
\definecolor{colString}{rgb}{0,0.5,0}
\lstset{%
     language=Matlab,%
     float=hbp,%
     basicstyle=\footnotesize\ttfamily,%
     identifierstyle=\color{colIdentifier},%
     keywordstyle=\color{colKeys},%
     stringstyle=\color{colString},%
     commentstyle=\itshape\color{colComments},%
     columns=fixed,
     tabsize=4,%
     frame=single,%
     framerule=1pt,
     extendedchars=true,%
     showspaces=false,%
     showstringspaces=false,%
     numbers=left,%
     numberstyle=\tiny\ttfamily,%
     numbersep=1em,%
     breaklines=true,%
     breakindent=10pt,%
     backgroundcolor=\color{hellgelb},%
     breakautoindent=true,%
     captionpos=t,%
     xleftmargin=1em,%
     xrightmargin=\fboxsep%
}

The above code is extracted and adapted from the config file of the showexpl package. In your case, perhaps you don't like some of the above settings. Remove them to conform to defaults or change them according to your needs. The description of each option is given in the doc of the listings package.

Thank You very much! It works! Just to know: as I do the PDF, the Program Listing is contained within a black frame. It is possible to take out that frame in some way?

Thank You,

Take a look at the code Juanjo gave you. There you will find lines which specify the layout of the listing.

Code: Select all

\lstset{%
  ...  
  frame=single,%
  framerule=1pt,%
  ...
}

Refer to the documentation of lstlistings and you will know how to change the appearance.


Best regards
