Which Matlab related forums and newsgroups do you use beside MATLAB Answers? Which languages do they use? Which advantages and unique features do they have?
Do you think that these forums complement or compete against MathWorks and its communication platform?
Actually all answers are accepted.

Query on the matlab function
I am Maria.
I need to use the radialdistribution function2D. this uses a histogram function which is not available now.
"histogram" can be found here: http://www.cchem.berkeley.edu/chem195/histogram_8m.html#aedd379efd57ae78820ad8787bfab0cce
I am not able to find the URL.
Please help out to find the URL and code.

In the case of some apps like codeblock we have different projects plans in the same app like AMR,console application etc but in the case of matlab this project plans instead depends on your career. Deos this means that someone doing data analysis will have a MATLAB different from someone doing robotics?
No, it is the same MATLAB, but possibly different toolboxes (and possibly different licenses depending on circumstances)

Hi Pls I'm about to buy MATLAB for personal use but I noticed that there are so many options to choose like the license options(we have standard, student etc). So, here my questions comes -deos this different license options the same.like what the standard license the home license turns to have it too?
No, the Home License is only available as a "Perpetual" single-user license.
You are right, here I get answers for my questions very rapidly.
@Yusuf Suer Erdem: I know a forum, which had a working interface with syntax highlighting many years before Matlab Answers got this feature. Clicking on a command in a code section opens its documentation automatically. I'm still impeded by the auto-completion here, when the interface tries to be smarter than me. There are some experiences Matlab users and staff member in the other forum also, to be exact: 2 staff members and the number 4 of the top all-time contributors of Matlab Answers.
The new feature of Answers, that allows to run code in the forum's interface, is marvelous. The traffic here is high and therefore the time until an expert answers is really good.
CSSM died. What a pity. Due to the lack of moderation I've learned many offending words there.
For my point of view, Matlab's own forum does lots of good stuff. We can consider the main Matlab community as a tree and the other forums could be its branches. But yeah I may say that other forums could make contributions. As a conclusion they can not compete with Matlab's own community. Because of many benefits of Matlab's forum like experienced people, staff members, entry histories and everything.
The French MATLAB Forum is alive for more 6 years I believe. Only French language is allowed.
Some nice Features:
Forum divided in 4 parts :
- forum for MATLAB and other Toolboxs (Simulink , Compiler , Neural ...)
- forum for questions related to Image Processing
- questions related to Guide
- questions related to Signal Processing
and it is moderated by some MATLAB French gurus .;) Moderators can edit , remove , send yellow or red cards to the MATLAB user !
There is also a system of points when you answer questions . You get some new status (confirmed, expert ...) and stars if you are pro-active.
Another funny thing is more you share info about you (date of birth , first name ) more you win points. If you accept to subscribe to the newsletters of DVP you also win points ...
Hi Jan,
Most of my answers contain an hyperlink to the official technical solution of TMW. My idea is to show that the MATLAB user can find himself the solution by searching in the support web page ;) In this specific case , English is allowed.
Thanks for this answer. And thanks for the meta-information, that someone reads old threads.
You get point for publishing the date of birth?! I do not see the scientific use for this, but I remember, that the date of birth is useful, if you want to hijack an Ebay account. Offering points for information which decreases the privacy level has a limited fun factor.
If only French language is allowed, is it forbidden to cite the original documentation? ;-)
Hi Jan,
there is something similar to "Answers" in German: www.gomatlab.de. If you click on "Forum", you'll see the different topics. Quite active.

@Titus: goMatlab is one of the most active Matlab forums after CSSM and Answers. Therefore I've mentioned it already.
I'm fascinated by the peculiar differences between question in goMatlab and MATLAB Answers: While the majority of German speaking beginners seem to transfer variables to functions by ASSIGNIN and EVALIN (and suffer from the resulting difficulties), this does rarely appear here. On the other hand, questions concerning "any((0:0.1:1.0) == 0.3)" do appear in Answers and CSSM only.
Strange. I did not expect, that using input and output arguments or floating point arithmetics is depends on national or cultural effects.
Thanks for your answers. I've voted all contributions.
