StructBrowser

StructBrowser, GUI for browsing any structure (or nested structures) and plotting its fields.

Description

The CRC-StructBrowser is designed to expose the contents of all variables of class struct to any depth and plot any of the components. The tool is very useful especially for nested structures. It displays the structure in a tree format starting from the first level. The tree is expanded (or shrunk) to the corresponding level by double-clicking.

Syntax:
StructBrowser
StructBrowser_gui_g(cell_struct)

The easiest way of starting up the GUI is to type the command "StructBrowser" while the workspace contains some information (the same command can be used in the debug mode).

The GUI can also be launched by typing: StructBrowser_gui_g(cell_struct)
in the MatLab command. cell_struct is a cell of size (2 X N), where N is the number of structures to browse. The first row of cell_struct contains all the structures' names, and the second row contains all the corresponding values. Assuming your workspace contains the 3 structures struct_1, struct_2 and struct_3, cell_struct is described by the following:

cell_struct = ...{'struct_1', 'struct_2', 'struct_3'; ...
  struct_1, struct_2, struct_3};

In the case of the base workspace, the function "copy_all_struct" is provided to copy all variables of class struct from workspace and store them in a cell array. The syntax of this function is:

cell_struct = copy_all_struct;

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 6.5 (R13)

GOOD...useful

[David Graham]

A really useful tool. Makes browsing a struct array very simple. Highly recommended

amazing! save me a lot of typing. more like... upgrading from typing cd.. etc. in dos to apple gui!

Powerful, specially if you use it in combination with ToSavedWorkspace, since you can export in a image the contents of your workspace. Unfortuanetly, except fig extension,the only image file type effective in order to export an image is bmp: for images of other formats, e.g. jpg, png, pdf...it's been lost the treeview object

A good tool!
Note: I made a small change to line 182, to avoid the need to copy the exp_struct_icons directory. This may make the tool more portable.

% pth = [matlabroot, '\work\exp_struct_icons\'];
            pth = [fileparts(mfilename('fullpath')) '\exp_struct_icons\']

Sorry, my previous comment was meant for the newer version, ExploreStruct, at
