Matlab Central File Exchange

On June 18, 2009, I removed my submissions from Matlab Central File Exchange. Reason is the decision of The MathWorks to enforce the BSD license for all new submissions to Matlab Central File Exchange. To avoid any implicit association of my software with the BSD license I decided to no longer provide my software via Matlab Central File Exchange. This page is a record of my Matlab Central File Exchange submissions.

The software can be downloaded from pub/matlab/ and continues to be covered by the GNU General Public License including an exception clause to link the code with MATLAB from The MathWorks.

Simply Awesome!

A real GUI solution for the Matlab platform. No more clunky .fig files. With programmatic GUIs, changes to UIs can be merged because they require no binary data.

Updates

06 Jul 2004

New version (2004-07-06).

30 Sep 2005

New interface and version command. New focus command (mouseclick.c is included, works with Unix and Windows). New render command to create and lay out all widgets in a figure with a single command.

23 Jul 2008

Add changes and new features to the render command. New icon command to return image data of small icons that can be placed on buttons. New filesel command to render a file selection or directory selection dialog box.

30 Jul 2008

The render command has a new tabs layout element to render tab panels. New caller command to return the caller’s script file name. New load command to load a Matlab object from a text file.

getopt

09 Jul 2004 (Updated 23 Aug 2006)

Parse command options.

File Information

Description

The getopt command parses options from an argument list. The aim is to be close to GNU long options functionality, and beyond.

getopt works fine for my application; however my requirements are relatively simple.

I’m using MATLAB R2006a, and getopt generates a lot of mlint warnings. I presume these are because it was written using an older version. Most of these warnings can be removed by:

1. Replacing ‘error(sprintf(...))’ with ‘error(...)’, and
2. Replacing ‘ & ’ with ‘ && ’.

This second change also fixes the one problem I found. Line 445 is not tolerent of blank arguments being specified on the command line (e.g., ‘-Project ''’).

Updates

16 Jul 2004

* Add support for ‘-opt=arg’ syntax.
* New built-in option types for line styles and marker symbols.

10 Aug 2006

This is a bug fix release without user-visible changes.

23 Aug 2006

New built-in counter option type. Add support for user-defined option types. New feature for assigning option values to variables in the caller’s workspace. Add support for preallocating an option structure array.

rubberband

Excellent little program, it is just what I needed! I needed something like this to specify the region for recording AVI files (i.e. using the getframe box input).

Thanks
