File Exchange Pick of the Week

Shadowplot

My co-host of this forum, Scott, wins this round of "Who is cooler?". Around here, coolness is directly proportional to MATLAB knowledge and skills. I was looking through the new files for undiscovered gems when I found Shadowplot. When I first looked at the graphics that it created, I did not know how the author did that. I was intrigued, only then did I notice that Scott was the author. I like this file because it is very easy to use, it gives a polished look to MATLAB graphics along with being useful in some situations. I also like that Scott took advantage of the published M-file capabilities to make an HTML document to go with the file. Congratulations Scott, this is the honorable way of getting to be Pick of the Week- much better than simply choosing yourself like you did in early December of last year!
