20 Nov 2009 Quaternion Library for Simulink A library of blocks for manipulating quaternions. Author: Jay St. Pierre

Overall a nice package. However, I found several issues with the DCM to quaternion block. The block is not designed to accept a [3x3] signal dimension, rather, it expects a 9 element vector. Also, if one uses a reshape on a [3x3] vector to recast is as the 9 element vector one needs to transpose the [3x3] first since the 9 element vector is unpacked in row order, rather than the Simulink standard of column order.

Also, the quaternion to DCM block outputs the DCM in row-order, which requires a reshape and transpose to recast as a usable [3x3] signal.

Also several of the blocks use Mux blocks as bus creators improperly which will generate errors if strict bus modeling is enabled.

14 May 2008 nflcolor Return NFL color values by team or city name Author: Alan Bindemann Zelin, Max

Well, I know nothing about this site and my sister was the mathematical genious in MY family, but having been asked to design a piece of jewelry using one of the team's colors, I came across this page. The red is kind of "questionable", and if I was one to download files indiscriminantly to my computer, I'm sure I am one of the few people to whom this WOULD be of value. Matlab, maybe not so much, but ME, yes. Didn't take advantage of it though, not sure what kind of file it is, but I WOULD love to know the RGB color value of the red in the Bucs colors. . .would help me know what type of red to use when I design the piece. . . .this girly-girl doesn't plan to EVER attend a football game of any kind. . . . .

I'll admit, I'm still wondering why Matlab needs an NFL color mapping utility. 8-)

Given that, I like how the author has cleaned it up. In context, its a good code if this is something that you have a need for as a user.

I was debating whether this code was worth a rating of 4 or 5. Initially, I wanted to make it a 4, since it does not seem to be of real value to many people. On the other hand, this is by far the best code I've seen so far on the file exchange to supply the colors of all NFL teams. In that context, I'll give it a 5 rating. ;-)

(smile)

Defaulting to the Jets over the Giants is a serious flaw.

Slightly more seriously, from a coding point of view the code could have been more simply written, yet be more flexible using either strmatch or strncmp. This would allow the user to shorten the names. For example, you could then call it as nflcolor('cinc') and not get an error as long as the shortening was unambiguous.

This would also simplify the code, allowing it to be written as just an index into an array of colors, rather than as a massive switch/case statement.
