In this video we are sorting through some data making a different line for all the data points that match certain criteria. At some point in the algorithm none of the data meets the criteria. This… read more >>
When we get unknown data, we do not always know where it will lead us. This video shows the series of visualizations that I went through to answer a question about my data. By showing the process,… read more >>
In this video a colleague was looking in a large list to see if each element was a permutation of any element of a shorter list. I name these lists Haystack and Needle so it is easy to remember… read more >>
In this video, we will use non-uniform spacing for the X vector going into a surf plot in MATLAB. This allows us to selectively increase the resolution of a graphic in the more important regions. … read more >>
When you use ButtonDownFcn in MATLAB, your callback is given an automatic input called hObject. This hObject is the handle of the object that you interacted with to invoke the callback, which makes… read more >>
In teaching new MATLAB users, I often see them accidentally use a vector as an input to an if statement. This is not likely what they intend and it is often an overlooked syntax error. In this… read more >>
As code matures, very often the nature of variables becomes better understood and the names of the variables need to change to reflect that better understanding. This short video shows how the… read more >>
Custom visualizations in MATLAB can be made to show your data however you think best. Today’s visualization looks like it might be difficult, but it was actually done with one strategic… read more >>
The sooner you find an error, the less expensive it is to find and fix. In MATLAB it is really easy to do quick visualizations of your data. When it is this easy, you should be doing these little… read more >>
By default, GUIDE creates one callback function for every object in a UI. Sometimes, you want to have one callback function serve multiple objects. This video shows one way to do this, by manually… read more >>
