26 Mar 2013 Straightforward COPY and PASTE functions Allows very simple manual exchange with other applications through the clipboard. Author: Yvan Lengwiler

Arnold. This seems to be a size constraint of the clipboard itself. Even the more basic attempt to put a 1024x1024 matrix into the clipboard, clipboard('copy',x), fails. So the problem is not in my copy function, but is deeper. I cannot address this, sorry.
19 Mar 2013 Straightforward COPY and PASTE functions Allows very simple manual exchange with other applications through the clipboard. Author: Yvan Lengwiler

Arnold, thank you for your suggestion. I have implemented three options now that allow you to handle non standard decimal separators, horizontal separators, and row separators.
Importing images is a completely different issue. A possible workaround is provided by the fact that an image is really just a three-dimensional matrix. However, these functions cannot handle such objects, so you would have to copy and paste the three colors of an RGB image separately. This is tedious, of course. Doing this more comfortably would be very convenient, but I guess this goes beyond these simple utilities. Or, maybe you have an idea how to do that?
03 Feb 2013 Straightforward COPY and PASTE functions Allows very simple manual exchange with other applications through the clipboard. Author: Yvan Lengwiler

Thank you, Hakan. This is a useful remark. I've uploaded a revision of the 'paste' function that tries to address this issue. It is, I believe, not possible to identify the formatting of the decimal and thousand separators with 100% accuracy (given an arbitrary string). The program will succeed if a comma is present in the number string.

So, both '1'234.56' and '1.234,56' will now be translated into the number 1234.56. Yet, '1.234' will always be interpreted as the number 1.234, even if 1234 was meant.

Robert, thank you for your comment. I'm glad that the functions are helpful.

Dear Duarte, this is odd, because line 96 is "[~,ord] = sort(val);", and that is a perfectly valid statement. If you have an older version of Matlab, try replacing the tilde as follows: "[temp,ord] = sort(val);" and let me know if that helps.

25 Apr 2013 lscatter : scatter plot with labels instead of markers Similar to ML's scatter command, but allows you to use separate labels for each point. Author: Yvan Lengwiler Bas-Jan

Works like a charm, exactly what I needed.

Minor suggestion for improvement: it would be nice if the syntax from the plot-command could be used for the markers/linestyle. For example 'r.' for red dots.
