How to check if a class has a specific base class in Matlab

I define a class in Matlab that is a subclass of another, for example:

classdef SpecificLimit < BaseLimit

  % Private properties section
  properties (SetAccess = private, GetAccess = private)
    options;
  end

  % Public section
  methods (Access = public)
    % ...
  end
end

      

        
        
        
      

    

Now I have a variable named r

and I want to check if this variable is an instance of a class that has BaseLimit

as a base class (I have a lot of them). Is there an easy way to do this? I've read about meta.class

, but I haven't found a way to accomplish this check.

I am using Matlab r2014a.
