Voting Period Continues

The deadline has passed for new submissions, but voting continues until Friday at Noon EDT. Browse the list of entries and vote for your favorites by tagging them “vis2009″. Look for the “Published M Files” on the submission’s page to view the entry without having to download the ZIP file.

    Thanks again to the MathWorks team for holding this contest. It’s a bummer there weren’t more people that participated in it, but I guess that’s because it was so different than the normal contests.

    I assume that entries which were submitted before noon, but not actually reviewed and approved for public posting before noon will still be allowed into the rankings?

    My last minute submissions were approved, but they aren’t showing up in the rankings. Is this because they show the first tag as being applied at time of approval, which was AFTER noon, despite being submitted before? FYI, the submissions are:

    http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/23595
    http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/23596

    They are actually both the same, I just messed up in zipping the file up on the first one and accidentally included the .asv instead of the .m file, so I corrected it. If you want to delete the first one so as to note ‘clutter up’ the FEX that’s fine by me.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
