Handling comments and e-mail

I would like to announce new procedures for comments on this blog, as well as for associated e-mail traffic.

First, post commenting is now in "moderate" mode, meaning that new comments will not appear until I have had a chance to review them. My goal is to review the incoming comments at least once per business day. As a general rule, I welcome comments that are at least somewhat relevant to the topic of the post. I also welcome general comments about this blog—especially suggestions for new topics!

Second, I have removed my e-mail address link from the posts. The volume of e-mail traffic in response to my blog posts and comp.soft-sys.matlab posts was beginning to interfere with my "day job" as a software development manager at MathWorks, so I will no longer be able to respond to such e-mail.

The conversations that have happened through relevant blog comments and responses have been very valuable, and I encourage you to continue sharing your thoughts here.

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for the last publication on “neighbor indexing”. To illustrate it, you choose the reconstruction by dilation algorithm, also called flood fill. Could you generalize this algorithm, by using a hierarchical queue instead of a simple queue, to grey tone images ?

    Michel—Yes, I imagine so. I’ve programmed such things in C and C++, but not MATLAB. In C++ I’ve used a priority queue, which doesn’t depend on having a small number of finite levels. That’s nice for working with floating-point data.

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).
