Last week, we had a Puzzler [click here] that could be developed faster and easier by using the Image Processing Toolbox. Some people used the toolbox, and some did not. As the conversation in the… read more >>

Several people have asked about how I make these MATLAB videos. Recently the folks that make Camtasia interviewed me about the videos making process. Those of you that are interested in a look… read more >>

Jiro's pick this week is MYAA by Anders Brun.   A few months ago, I wrote a post for Loren's Art of MATLAB blog about creating publication-quality graphics. That post was about... read more >>

This puzzler is very straightforward, so I hope to hear from some of the newer MATLAB users. I think the solution is very linear, most people would come up with the same solution. As a hint, be… read more >>

Bob's pick this week is Stopwatch by Joseph Kirk. For starters this is a useful tool. Sometimes you just want to time a real world event. Who knows where Coach Jones went but MATLAB is right... read more >>

We have MATLAB users come into The MathWorks to present their work in MATLAB from time to time. Recently there was an interesting presentation with some really great “Clutter… read more >>

Every now and then we send MATLAB challenges through the department to help sharpen our programming skills. What amazes me is the sheer variety of solutions that people come up with.
Today, I have… read more >>

Jiro's pick this week is VARYCOLOR by Daniel Helmick.   Have you ever had to plot many lines on a single graph and you had to construct additional set of colors to augment the... read more >>

Often if you make a surface plot with SURF for a large dataset, it will appear all black because MATLAB is trying to draw all the edge lines. You can stop these lines from obscuring your data by… read more >>

Aldo Caraceto, one of our Application Engineers from Italy, recently wrote to tell us about a new post on the File Exchange. He noted that this file was particularly cool because "it offers a... read more >>
