Austin—Sort the color_counts vector. Use the second output from sort, the permutation index, to re-order the the colors in the unique_colors matrix. Pick off the first three rows.

Taking this a step further how could you get matlab to count and display not just the maximum occurring color but the top three color occurrences and their locations? Thank you very much for your time.

two minor comments

- let’s not forget the typical approach

v=10*[1 1 3 5 5 2 3 2 2];
[nc,newix]=histc(v,unique(v));

% which comes with the added bonus of re-indexing the
% values in v in ascending order from 1:#uniques

nc
[v;newix]

- using the option FIRST, unique returns the index to the first rather than the last occurrence (default behavior) of unique values in the second output argument
