After spending all day on the forums trying to figure out how to read a text file into a cell array and then convert it into a matrix, I found this which did everything I needed it to in one go - Excellent piece of work, thank you very much!

excellent code but very slow on reading large datas

I'm using this script to export figures to pdf. The figures have an image background, with vector elements (dots) overlaid. Sometimes the vector elements are kept as vectors, sometimes they are merged with the image... and I can't work out why, or how to force vector elements to be retained. It may have to do with the complexity of the figure. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Otherwise, great script!

Excellent solution for when xlsread cannot be called (no Microsoft Excel around) and csvread cannot differentiate between delimiting commas and commas in double quoted text.

just great

With the ability to change compression quality for bitmaps in pdfs, this is now perfect. Highly recommended alternative to Matlab's PRINT.

This the kind of features that matlab could be supposed to do right away. Thanks! Mathworks should pay you and put this in the next release! Valuable for students who wish to work/learn with matlab.

This has been a great help! I was wondering if there is a way to identify a number of headerlines to skip?

Great little script. The real question is why the built in Matlab graphic export is so incredibly bad in the first place. thankyou for correcting their mistakes

Simply great, exactly what I was looking for a long time. Good job

I was struggling with a .csv file with mixed text/numbers as well as a varying number of delimiters per line - and this worked perfectly - thanks!

Very useful to get numbers which are always at the same place. You obtain first the matrix with all numeric data of the file and then you take your value in the matrix!
Thank you

I should clarify that my previous comment was specific to saving images overlaid with vector graphics to pdf, which is probably quite a niche requirement.

Functional and very handy code. There appear to be some issues with regard to proper cropping of figures, however. Possibly a ghostscript issue, but when saving as a .tif image the procedure produces uneven padded borders. Saving and 1024x512 pixel .tif at 150dpi gives me border padding of 1,7,7, and 2 pixels, respectively (using GPL Ghostscript 8.62).

Very slick.

simply great, it's exactly what I was searching for and it works fine :)

Very nice, but could do with having more options for compression when converting to pdf (and also jpeg, I guess) - e.g. lossless, high, medium, low - as the default setting is pretty low quality/high compression. For my purposes I needed higher quality output though.

I figured out how to do this myself, so if you want the gs incantations for this I can send them to you.

This program does exactly what Matlab should do with graphic exports.

Why does Matlab decide to completely chew up graphs when exported directly to .pdf? And if you export through .eps and use epstopdf you get an idiotic bounding box. Matlab has the ability to set up page size and attributes in the page setup menu, but not in the export setup menu. And they don't seem to be in any way related with regards to pdf's. Pretty poor.

Anyway, this program fixes all that. But, I had a problem whereby it didn't recognise my gs file location so I had to copy gswin32c.exe into my working Matlab folder. Fine now.

Thank you, this works fine!
But the # of space characters (as delimiter) differs in my file, so i have to use the regexp option, which slows the process :-(. So it would be nice to have an option to merge delimiters or empty2nothing.

worked like a charm

Good - could do with a 'headerlines' option though

This is top class. Tight bounding box and small file size (eps).

QUESTION : Why doesn't Matlab get it right?

I spent a good while trying to find something like this. It's crazy how many of them just don't seem to work.

Great stuff! This functionality really ought to be included in MATLAB. By default, savefig interpolates images, which can be undesirable when plotting discrete data like 2-D histograms. A quick fix is to delete -dDOINTERPOLATE from line 98. I have sent Peter an email requesting him to make this behavior be controlled by a switch

Tried readcsv does not work, and yours works right out of the box, and example works great for frist time try. Appreciate your work.

90% of my programming time has been consumed by the struggle with text strings in Matlab. Data import formats are never consistent. Even if they claim to be "comma-delimited", dates and other elements may not be well-formed. This function has solved my problem, and I can dispense with my bizarre collection of fixes. Many thanks.

Forgot to rate last time. Nice script. Would be good if one could specify fontsize. I use a workaround atm, opening the export figure dialog and selecting (and applying) font size there, then use savefig

This is a great file. It is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to use PDF files from Matlab with pdflatex, but I was encountering bounding box issues.

A note, however: I had to include the path to Ghostscript .exe in the script.

Great, I wish I had looked earlier... finally 4 figures do have the same extent, colorbarbwidth and readable font. If only grayscale would work for eps and pdfs...
