Comments and Ratings

Dear Brett,

I know excel is evil and doesn't implement the NaN standard, but is there a way to get your program to write something sensible, like "-" or ".." to a cell when the data array has an NaN?

Right now it writes 65535 for me, which is far to close to a real number to be helpful.

Cheers and thanks for the great coding,
Julia
 

Very useful, thanks.
For those wondering how to exit the function, just click on 'X'.

I've found useful to create a 'exit_zoom2cursor' function.
If you're interested, comment the statement 'endbutton = ...'
And call this function:

function exit_zoom2cursor
zoomparams = getappdata(gcf,'zoomparams');
if isempty(zoomparams)
    return;
end;
set(gcf,'windowbuttonmotionfcn',zoomparams.oldwbmf);
set(zoomparams.currax,'units',zoomparams.oldaxunits,'xlim',zoomparams.oldxlim,'ylim',zoomparams.oldylim);
set(get(zoomparams.currax,'children'),'buttondownfcn',zoomparams.bdfcnold,'busyaction',zoomparams.baold);
set(gcf,'pointer',zoomparams.oldpointer,'doublebuffer',zoomparams.dbold);

Why do I get this error message?

Does the latest version of matlab still not have this ???
As far as I understand, running a funciton like this is slower than if matlab had an internal function, since the internal funciton would be compiled into machine code ??

Great idea and nice implementation !!!! I've just downloaded and I'm already loving it... :-)

Just a small bug found, when called without any arguments, I get:

>> togglefig
??? Input argument "clearfig" is undefined.

The problem is solved by adding the line

 clearfig = 0;

just before

elseif nargin == 1

Cheers!

important pour mon projet

Thanks for this useful function.

I suggest a couple of extra lines to generate a unique figure number, so that other *.m files still using figure(1), figure(2), etc. do not overwrite the figures created by togglefig. It will pause for 10 ms each time a new figure is created, but this can be modified according to your computer platform (see 'pause' help).

...
if isempty(fig)
   pause(.01)
   FigNum = round(sum(1000*clock));
   fig = figure(FigNum);
   set(fig,'numbertitle','off',...
           'name',name);shg;
else
...

I love this. This is a great tool for showing people RGB concepts. I love how this displays the images in such an elegant layout.

For some reason, filegrep is taking forever to start; when I end hit Ctrl-C, I get

Error in ==> ver>LocParseContentsFile at 160
      fp = fopen(fName,'rb');

Error in ==> ver>sort_toolbox_list at 301

Hey Guys:

I have problems with the inputdata prcedure. How should I input my n*2 matrix?

Thanks,

Thank u!

Works as promised.

thanks you

Brett rules! Thanks a lot! :)

Thank you for your code!

It's a pity that docking does not work with compiled Matlab (at least in R2006a) ...

Perfect! Thanks alot.

All fixed.

Thanks for the comment, John. My first thought was to implement your suggestion; it would be trivially easy. But on reflection, I like TOGGLEFIG's forced issuance of a handle. In my workflow, I do things like:

set(togglefig('FigureName'),'color','k');

This gives me painless (by-name) handling of my figures, and frees me from having to use the more unwieldy

set(findobj('type','figure','name','Figurename'),'color','k').

You can still do

togglefig Fred;

(With the semicolon to suppress the display of the handle.)

Alternatively, I leave it to the user to modify the function to delete the function handle if not requested as an output.

Cheers!

Its excellent, as I fully expect from Brett.

I don't know if this is being picky or not, but I'd add a couple of lines to the very end.

if nargout==0
  clear fig
end

I think this is the standard for functions like plot or figure. When called as a command or with no output arguments, they do not try to return an output. Thus I'd expect to be able to do

togglefig Fred

and have a figure named "Fred" created, but without the handle itself ever returned. You should only get a handle when you ask for it. As it is now, togglefig now returns

ans
   = 1

when I call it as a command.

I'll rate this a 5 anyway.
