Mike on the MATLAB Desktop

February 23rd, 2009

The MATLAB File Exchange is a great place to share MATLAB code, but did you know it can be used to share other MATLAB related files as well?

Recently, Peter (a MATLAB Desktop developer and frequent blogger here) posted the pre-R2008b default Desktop layout. If you’ve been following this blog, you’ll remember that we talked about the new Desktop layout in R2008b. It turns out that not everyone likes this new layout, but rather than make people wait for another release of MATLAB, we decided to post the old layout to MATLAB Central.

I’d encourage you to post your own Desktop layout to The MATLAB File Exchange if you think there’s value in the arrangement you use. For more about creating your own Desktop layout, check out this blog entry.

   I enjoy coming to this place often since i caught the matlab bug.I have a question how do you capture a picture from a foreign frame or window independent of matlab (like the internet explorer window) into the matlab environment.

   @Yode – you can use the ScreenCapture utility from within the Matlab environment. It is available on the Matlab File Exchange: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/24323-screencapture-get-a-screen-capture-of-a-figure-frame-or-component

   Alternately, use any external screen-capture utility, save the result as an image file and then use Matlab functions (such as imread) to load the image into Matlab.
