I know nothing about Fortran, and had to convert some code into Matlab. The conversions that f2matlab made helped me immensely to give me a starting point. Many thanks!

I have aproblem with it : if I only do 4 subplot out of 6, for example 1,2,4,5 and not 3 and 6, the title is not centered any more.... sad :(

That is what I need. Thanks!

I just reinstalled this package for a windows 7 64 bit computer (running 64 bit matlab). It was a bit of work so I thought I would share the process, or offer to email anyone the binaries/toolbox as I have it.
The first issue is that building mpfr/gmp for x64 is quite hard. Apparently, there is a new ming compiler out for 64 bit, but no one has had it work so far (and I didn't try it). The second option, SUA is also useless as there is no gcc compiler for x64 with it, and you would be forced to make a 32 bit version. So, in order to get the libraries I had to use MPIR (which can substitute for GMP) and then compile mpfr with this instead of gmp. To do this, you need to do the following:
Download MPFR ad MPIR :
http://www.mpfr.org/
http://www.mpir.org/
Now, both of these are hard to build, but someone has setup a way to build them with either visual studio or visual studio express that is reasonably painless. Go here to get the build instructions.
http://gladman.plushost.co.uk/oldsite/computing/gmp4win.php
Note that in order to get the visual studio build to work, you have to install a yasm assembler program and integerate it into visual studio (follow the 3 step instructions on their website).
 http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/
One you are setup to go, first build mpir using visual studio. Note that there is a vcbuild directory included with the mpir program that you can use directly to make the files. This program can substitute for gmp in the next linking step, so use the gmp.h header file that comes with it next. With that done, you can now open the VS project from the gladman site and get ready to compile mpfr. Note that the project files he hands out do not include the actual code, so you will have to move the mpfr source files and reference mpir library files around to make sure they appear in their correct locations relative to the what is in the .sln file gladwell gives out. Once this is done, you are all set to build and things should compile just fine.
Next, compile the .mex files (which should be pretty straightforward now that the libraries are built). Now the package is up and running, however it did not work right away for me. It appears that for whatever reason if matlab saw this type of code:
length(x)==1
in the toolbox .m files, it would call the eq.m method of this toolbox instead of the builtin method, and this broke the dang thing as it would not know how to work with two double types. The same was true for <, >, etc.. This seemed very strange to me and I am not sure if it is due to matlab upgrades or to some odd system setting on my machine. In any event, changing the relevant files to check for a double and go to the builtin method seemed to work around the problem okay, and so far the code is working fine.

Great package overall!!! Certainly a lot of work must have gone into it, only giving it 4 out of 5 because I just spent 6 hours getting it to work, but I am sure if I had gone the 32 bit route it would have been much easier.

GREAT! works perfect thanks

potentially useful for me, but not until zoom/rotate issue is fixed.

Anyone had any luck getting this to work with recent versions of OS X? The old instructions don't seem to work.

See also FX textbp for option "best location".

It's great to know this great tool is still imporved.

very useful and good work!

Beautiful! This rivals laprint.m (http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/4638) for packages that really should be included with Matlab by default.

In case anyone gets here b/c they're having the same problem I was, I figured out how to fix the problem.

The issue is that when you do: -lML the compiler looks for a library named libML.a. However, on my machine the library is named libMLi3.a.

Therefore if I run:
/Applications/MATLAB74/bin/mex -I/Applications/Mathematica.app/SystemFiles/Links/MathLink/DeveloperKit/CompilerAdditions/ -L/Applications/Mathematica.app/SystemFiles/Links/MathLink/DeveloperKit/CompilerAdditions/ -lMLi3 math.c

Then everything works out hunky dory.

Thanks,

The final version I found at sourceforge.net is 1.21, which is released in 2005. Is there newer version of this GREAT tool!? I love this tool very much. Please DO NOT stop to update it.

A useful function, quite well thought out.

Unlike text, textLoc outputs the handle whether requested or not - I suggest fixing this by changing the output variable to Hout and including the line:
 if nargout > 0; Hout = H; end;

textLoc works as advertised for a string, but if used with a cell array it shows up a deficiency of the Matlab text function in that you can't have left-aligned text on the right hand side ('East'), or right-aligned text on the left ('West'), because the anchor point of the text object is coupled to the alignment property. The 'Extent' property could be used to position the anchor point away from the edge of the graph, but then the text won't stay in the desired position if the plot is resized. Unless the Matlab text object is revised, I can't see how to fix this problem.

I cannot understand how to use derivative of modified Mathieu function first and second kind.any one tell me.

can anyone tell me how exactly to install the binaries in windows? thanks

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for this.

It's really useful and greate soft

it would be perfect if it also had the "best" location, as in the "legend" command.

Mathieu angle function is not correct. How to correct it? Thank you. I also need the spheroidal function.

When installing in suse 10.1, I found it necessary to explicitly provide the path '/usr/local/lib' in the mp_compile_all.m file as that is where my lmpfr libraries were

e.g. If you get the error
mex: link of 'mpfr_something.mexglx' failed.

Then change lines 12 & 13 to

disp(['compiling: mex ',dd(ii).name,' -L/usr/local/lib -lmpfr -lgmp'])
    mex([dd(ii).name],'-L/usr/local/lib -lmpfr -lgmp');

Some small precisions (1-2) can cause Matlab to break. Some operations cause memory dump errors , maybe this is due to passing illegal arguments somewhere to mex functions.
The GMP mex wrapper functions work well with the supported dlls on a windows XP for these it is worth using it and writing your own m-class around them.

Great tools!
But I found it can't deal with the following kind of code:

pt(indFPS,1) = signalGenerator(t,...
    [pump.forwardPower(:);signal.forwardPower(:)]./1000,...
    [pump.forwardShape(:);signal.forwardShape(:)],...
    [pump.forwardT0(:),signal.forwardT0(:)],...
    [pump.forwardRep(:),signal.forwardRep(:)]);

Anyone knows how to modify matlab2fmex to do the job?

thanks.
