Mike's pick this week is <\/span>IMVIEW Image Display Function<\/span><\/a> by <\/span>Steve Eddins<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/div>
Steve Eddins worked at MathWorks for over 30 years and was the author of the long running <\/span>Image Processing with MATLAB blog<\/span><\/a>. Now retired, he still interacts regularly with several of us at MathWorks and currently serves as a member of our Community Advisory Board (CAB). He also continues to blog about MATLAB on his personal blog, <\/span>Harmonic Notes<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/div>
From Steve's description of the function: \"<\/span>imview<\/span> displays a binary, grayscale, indexed, or RGB image. It is intended to be used instead of <\/span>imshow<\/span><\/a> in most cases. It behaves better with other MATLAB graphics functions, it uses a higher quality image interpolation, and it displays and makes it easy to change the zoom level.\"<\/span><\/div>
\"\"<\/img><\/div>
As a bonus, Steve has blogged extensively about the development of <\/span>imview<\/span> so we get the benefit of his insights in why and how he built it. Here are the posts so far in reverse chronological order.<\/span><\/div>
