Animation in MATLAB	Update Link / Bad Link
One of the uses for Matlab is to make a series of calculations and plots. For example, in the concurrent/countercurrent flow model, we wanted to calculate the amount of material after each time iteration and plot this on the screen. To do this, we had the program difflow.m. http://physics.gac.edu/~huber/envision/matgui/animate.htm Submitted Jul 03, 1999 Updated May 05, 2004

Creating a GUI in MATLAB 5

Update Link / Bad Link

One of the major comments that we hear about MATLAB is "I don't know how I can use it in my classroom. It is too hard for my students to use." This may be a correct comment - we don't necessarily want the students to construct a model from scratch in MATLAB, but would want them to use a previously prepared model. We can do this using Input and disp statements in a M-file which is run from the MATLAB window. A much better way is to use a Graphical User Interface (GUI) where the student just "fills in the blanks" and all of the MATLAB commands are completely hidden from the student. Creating GUI's in MATLAB Version 5 is significantly easier than in previous versions of the program. In particular, the guide program allows one to easily place controls onto a model and set their properties.

Export MATLAB to Word, FrameMaker, PowerPoint, the web & more

Update Link / Bad Link

Using The Graphics Connection, you can convert MatLab output into scalable vector formats such as MIF for FrameMaker, WMF for Word and PowerPoint as well as web formats SVG and CGM. TGC also generates bitmap and ascii formats. Files to be converted must be saved in PostScript or EPS before using TGC. Dynamic batch process and developer kits available.

3-d Plotting Commands	Update Link / Bad Link
In order to plot in three dimensions one need to specify a grid of points in the x-y domain; this is much like specifing the ordered pairs in the plane where points will be plotted.

Spatial Analysis 3D

Update Link / Bad Link

Spatial Analysis 3D is a user-friendly, graphical user interface (GUI) that allows statistical and visual manipulations of real and simulated three-dimensional spatial point patterns. Examples of the types of analyses performed include those derived from the Delaunay tessellation associated with such spatial point patterns, and those associated with the correlation of such point patterns, including autocorrelation analysis and its derived density recovery profile, as well as the related K, F, and G-functions. The stimulus for the development of Spatial Analysis 3D has been the study of neuronal positioning within the central nervous system, but many other applications in science, engineering, statistics and mathematics should benefit from this suite of programs. Spatial Analysis 3D is the project of a collaborative research effort between Drs. Benjamin Reese, Mary Raven, and Dan Lofgreen at the Unversity of California at Santa Barbara and Dr. Stephen Eglen at the University of Cambridge. It has been supported by a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health through the Neurotechnology Research, Development and Enhancement Program. It grew out of our efforts to quantify the regularity and simulate the patterning found in distributions of nerve cells across the retina, a structure in the central nervous system where uniformity in nerve cell spacing plays a critical role in retinal function.
