GSTools

A set of matlab functions to read, write and deal with .spc spectra and spectral descriptions

Description

GSTools v0.4.3  
 
This toolbox is an implementation to open and save SPC-spectra in matlab.  
 
Additional routines are supplied as well: e.g.:  
- GSImportspec: loads all SPC-files in a map  
- GSDendrogram: this is to be used as a supplement to the matlab's toolbox function Dendrogram. GSDendrogram allows the user to put coloured labels with the samples names under the dendrogram. properly are added.  
- BTree class: a binary tree implementation, which offers the user to easily inspect the different items in a list, as well as the positions of these different items. This combined approach makes it easy to work with numeric arrays and stringlists, such as spectral descriptions.  
 
A PDF with detailed information on the usage (including some sample code) is supplied in the zip-archive.  
 
GSTools is also included in the Biodata toolbox (doi: 10.1016/j.chemolab.2008.08.003).

• Required Products: Statistics Toolbox
• MATLAB release: MATLAB 6.5 (R13)
• Other requirements: Statistics toolbox is only required in order to make dendrograms.

I have only used this for reading in an .spc file. It worked great. It even plots the spectra so you know it was loaded properly.

[Rich Williams]

Haven't used it for .spc files, but it includes an easy to use BTree class. Note that the @BTree\private\DoCompare.m method will fail upon unsigned types unless you replace the line  
 
     tmp = item - value;  
 
with  
 
     tmp = (item > value) - (item < value);

[Dominique Bertrand]

I needed to import SPC files and it works immediately.

[Gerbe van Dreumel]

Use it for importing multi-dimensional spectra: and it works perfect!

[Pall Thordarson]

Just downloaded it to convert SPC Raman data and it works perfectly! Noted a small error in the manual on page 2: plot (SData.xaxis, data);  
doesn't work, just change to:  
plot (SData.xaxis, Sdata.data); and it works fine.

fantastic bit of code, works better than the old GRAMS converter ive been using until now!
