Matlab Icon for Linux (with Transparency)

12 May 2009 (Updated 20 Oct 2009)

A nice icon to use as Matlab start button in Linux.

File Information
Description	There comes a Matlab logo in different sizes with Matlab. It can be found in the "${MATLABROOT}/X11/icons/" directory. However, I didn't like those much, therefore I created a new one. The image was created by using the "logo" command in Matlab and saving the image. I used Gimp to crop the image, resize it and to set the transparent areas.

16 Oct 2009	Ilkka Pohjalainen	The edge of the 3D-plot should have been made transparent so that the icon show nicely against dark background.
19 Oct 2009	Oliver Woodford	The edges still don't appear to be transparent. If you have export_fig (here on the FEX) then the following gives a good result: logo; set(gcf, 'color', 'none', 'position', [101 100 127 128]); export_fig matlabicon.png -nocrop
21 Oct 2009	Georg Stillfried	Edges are now transparent.
