Introduction

I am the author of some MATLAB demonstrations and general-purpose code which can be found on the MathWorks Web site. That code had me ranked second for popularity in July 2004, for nearly 2,000 downloads in one month. It later had me ranked second in March 2005 for a number that exceeded 2,000 and finally first position in April. Warm thanks to anyone who made use of my work.

Projects

I currently have 4 MATLAB projects that are open-source on this site.

• AART Public Page (Full Page)
• MDL GUI
• Model Evaluation
• MARS

There are plenty of examples or potential ideas for MATLAB programmers, which are derived from these projects. For example, see:

• AART Source

       Listing of program files in a very raw form.
       Also see: Recent version via anonymous FTP (username: ftp@schestowitz.com; path: public/AART2.0.0)

• HTML documentation (See M2HTML download page and homepage )

       Hyper-linked documentation of MATLAB code.

• Experiments Documentation

       An automatic output of experiment logs. Most are archived on local drives (but not all). Also see the relevant white paper.

• An automatically-generated gallery of output images

       A KDE-aided generation of thumbnails. The images shown are generated by MATLAB.

• A gallery of output videos

       A directory containing output MATLAB videos and animation.

• A gallery of output figures

       A presentation-based display of output images (semi-automatic).

• Various MATLAB batch scripts

       A collection of scripts that can make work with MATLAB more efficient.

• Package structure

       A dependency graph of a MATLAB package, generated by MDOC.

Published Code

I also published several functions and examples which you can find below.

• GUI Background Image

       Creates a GUI window with a pre-defined background image.

• ASCII Progress Bar

       An ASCII progress bar with timers.

• Splash Screen

       A powerful and generalised splash screen.

• Status Bar

       Status Bar.

• Application Labelling

       A simple yet powerful way of extracting machine information and centralising variant package ...

• Vectors Surface

       An alternative comparative representation of vectors.

• Child Window

       Child window with parameter passing.

• Time/Date Stamp

       Places a full datestamp at the bottom of figure.

• Pause / Resume

       Pausing and resuming tasks.

• Settings File

       Get settings from file.

• Fancy Plot

       A more graphical mode for 'plot'.

• Elliptic Bumps

       Generate and display sets of elliptic bumps.

• Custom Bumps

       Generate and display sets of flexible bumps.

Local copies of the code are available too.

White Papers

Below lies an ill-written document that I decided to have a go at on a quiet afternoon. It explains to beginners about MATLAB graphical user interfaces.

See:

• MATLAB GUI Tips

Or view the local copies:

• PDF Version
• HTML Version

Another document is concerned with HTML and MATLAB.

• Download from MATLAB Central
• Local Copies
