MOCluGen

Multidimensional cluster generation in MATLAB/Octave

MOCluGen

Summary

MOCluGen is a MATLAB/Octave implementation of the clugen algorithm for generating multidimensional clusters. Each cluster is supported by a line segment, the position, orientation and length of which guide where the respective points are placed.

See the documentation for more details.

Install and use

Download the most recent version from the releases page or clone the development version with following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/clugen/MOCluGen.git

Open MATLAB or GNU Octave and cd into the project's folder, and run the startup.m script:

>> startup

MOCluGen can now be used, e.g:

>> o = clugen(2, 4, 400, [1 0], pi / 8, [50, 10], 20, 1, 2, 'seed', 123);
>> scatter(o.points(:, 1), o.points(:, 2), 36, o.clusters, 'filled', 'MarkerEdgeColor', 'k');

>> o = clugen(3, 4, 1000, [1 0 0], pi / 8, [20 15 25], 16, 4, 3.5, 'seed', 123);
>> scatter3(o.points(:, 1), o.points(:, 2), o.points(:, 3), 36, o.clusters, 'filled', 'MarkerEdgeColor', 'k');
