How can I control a stepper motor (in arduino) with matlab?

Hi, I connected a stepper motor to arduino and this is the example script that I used:
include <Stepper.h>
const int stepsPerRevolution = 200; // change this to fit the number of steps per revolution
// for your motor
// initialize the stepper library on pins 8 through 11:
Stepper myStepper(stepsPerRevolution, 8,9,10,11);
void setup() {
// set the speed at 60 rpm:
myStepper.setSpeed(60);
// initialize the serial port:
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// step one revolution in one direction:
Serial.println("clockwise");
myStepper.step(stepsPerRevolution);
delay(500);
// step one revolution in the other direction:
Serial.println("counterclockwise");
myStepper.step(-stepsPerRevolution);
delay(500);
}
How can I 'translate' this script in matlab code? My problem is that I want to control the rotation of the stepper depending on a value computed in matlab, so should be great if I could control the stepper motor directly with matlab. I saw that already exists 'ARDUINO I\O Package' but that works only with arduino motor shield but I have 'ARDUINO UNO'. Can anyone help me please?

Did you find a way to control it with Arduino?
I mean also to control speed and other stepper library parameters and not just the pins.
