07 Oct 2009 Normalize Array Row Wise Each array is normalized such that rows sum to 1 Author: Shivani Rao

could be solved more efficiently by calling bsxfun...

A = magic(4);
An = bsxfun(@rdivide,A,sum(A,2));

14 Aug 2009 Conic Plotter Plots conics given as implicit functions Author: creek

"I decided to write a review about FEX @Matlab" [... and ...] "start submitting it to every review journal/magazine on the Internet"

Do it, if you have the time. But I suggest you better use your valuable time to explore the FEX. There are great utilities around here, you'll find awesome software and kind people always willing to help. You will see people with a lot of experience, whose ratings you can rely on. And you will see that there is a huge amount of useless and flawed software. In my opinion it is not easy to filter the good things out. That's why I am happy with the rating system and grateful to the experts that take the time to give (imo) fair ratings.

You didn't have a very good start here. You rated your own file with five stars which is condemned here.

19 Jun 2009 Matrix to file Writes matrix to a file. Arguments: matrix and file-name Author: Nicolai Sten

When you and others experienced this problem with finding dlmwrite, than this should encourage you to take even more care to give a good documentation for your function.

A good documentation should provide an H1-line (the very first line in the help block of your function)

, a good description and syntax of the function. Moreover, providing an example of the function usage is always a good help for others.

dlmwrite might be difficult to find, yet, once found, it still provides a more powerful tool than this function due to its flexibility. Still, it lacks some features such as adding header lines/column names or supporting cell arrays. I'd like to see, that you should built upon these shortcomings and include such functionalities (in case you have the time to do so).
  

16 Jun 2009 Matrix to file Writes matrix to a file. Arguments: matrix and file-name Author: Nicolai Sten

Why do you submit a function that already exists? This function does only a subset of what dlmwrite can do. You may want to improve this function so that it can write cell arrays with mixed data types. Yet, I am quite sure that something like this already exists on the FEX. Moreover, this submission lacks reasonable help and an H1 line. Sorry, but so far I don't see much value in this submission.

15 Jun 2009 export matlab data to excell A simple function to export data to excel. The function writes a CSF text file. Author: Sherif Omran

"Please don't send me emails with questions because i don't have time to reply. Try to find the answer online. This function is very simple and don't need questions to be asked. "

You have no time to write emails?? Well, than you should take the time to write a proper help for this function. True, the function is simple and some people might find it useful and use it. Still, be a friendly software developer that does not force the user to look through the source code (no matter how short it is).
