Jiro's pick this week is pushd & popd by Peter Bodin. Navigating through folders is a big part of my MATLAB workflow, especially because I may be working on multiple demos/projects [...]

by Richard Medlock. These two helper functions are simple but useful. I don't know how many times I have needed to convert between radians and [...]

In my last Pick, I singled out someone who has contributed widely to image-processing discussions on the CSSM newsgroup. Today, I want to recognize a stalwart contributor to the MATLAB community, both through CSSM and through his numerous submissions to

Jiro's pick this week is PeakFinder by Nate Yoder. "What? Another peak finder?" you might say. Some of you may classify this as one of those utilities that has been created by many people over the years, like sudoku and

Many of us who have used or participated in comp.soft-sys.matlab over the years--particularly those of us who have had occasion to solve image processing problems--have come to appreciate Image Analyst's thoughts on relevant matters. Recently, Image Analyst had occasion [...]

Jiro's pick this week is "Comparison of object oriented code" by our very own Stuart McGarrity. To some of you, this may be old news, but I know that not everyone is up to date on newer features. The new

by Philipp Berens. I remember lots of A-ha moments in college when I realized the significance of yet another application for Fourier transforms. [...]

by Michael Wunder. This is a nice example of quantitative image analysis. Given a heat map and region of interest based on elevation, [...]

This week's Pick of the Week takes a turn "out of the box"; rather than select a file, I'd like to highlight new functionality in MATLAB that allows one to interface with the MATLAB Central File Exchange directly [...]

Brett's Pick this week is exportToZip, by fellow MathWorker Malcolm Wood. I recently received an email from a File Exchange user informing me that a GUI I had shared for morphologically processing [...]

Jiro's pick this week is DataTable by Paul. MATLAB stands for MATrix LABoratory. So it's no surprise that we work with a lot of matrices. From time to time, I've wanted to embed a matrix in a Wiki page or

Brett's Pick this week is padcat, by Jos--one of the File Exchange's most popular contributors. MATLAB has a few containers that are useful for storing heterogeneous data. In particular, one can store just about any [...]

Brett's Pick this week is dbmute and unmute, companion functions that facilitate code tweaking and debugging. Those of you who read my colleagues' blog Ken & Mike on the MATLAB Desktop may have already been [...]

Jiro's pick this week is AutoWarnDlg by Jan Simon. By this time, some of you may know that I am attracted to visual tools. I was browsing through the File Exchange last week, and with this post by Ken &

Jiro's pick this week is Self-Balancing Robot by Yorihisa Yamamoto. This one comes from Tokyo, Japan. I am currently here for a few weeks working with the Application Engineers at the MathWorks Japan office which just opened this July. These

Bob's pick this week is StructDlg by Alon Fishbach. This is a follow-on from last week's pick. Do you build MATLAB applications with a graphical user interface (GUI)? Do want [...]

Bob's pick this week is STRUCTDLG by Marco Cococcioni. This is a nifty data editing tool. Suppose you have a structure with a few named fields in your MATLAB workspace.myStruct.Submission = 'Time index';myStruct.Author = 'Bob';myStruct.Address [...]

Former "Pickmaster" (and current blogger) Doug Hull suggested that John Iverson's color freezer might be "Pickworthy." I wholeheartedly agree. Suppose you wanted to display the image of a clown that ships as a MATLAB demo. [...]

Brett's Pick this week allows you to strip comments from your code, should you need to do so. Several years ago--while building several large, multi-file applications--I found myself getting unwanted output scrolling [...]

Jiro's pick this week is FACTORIZE by Tim Davis. If you browse through the MATLAB Newsgroup, you will occasionally find discussions on "matrix inverse". In many of those discussions, the ultimate goal of wanting matrix [...]
