Looking Back: 2014 in Review

And so...another year over, a new one just begun. 2014 saw some very big changes. MATLAB has changed--subtly. If you haven't tried R2014b yet, try it--we think you'll like it. The new MATLAB Graphics system--long-awaited!-- is live, and while there may be some growing pains, we're excited about the new things it will enable us to do. In this forum, we welcomed Sean as a lead blogger, and Brett stepped aside to pursue other projects. (He's still around, contributing now and then ;) !) And once again, the year has seen big growth of MATLAB Central, and lots of big additions to the File Exchange. So without further ado, here is the retrospective of 2014's Picks of the Week. You can read the original blog posts for each of these picks by clicking on the names of the files and following the links to the "Pick of the Week" tag. As always, your comments are welcome.
