Many times we use difficult syntax in MATLAB because we do not know there is a better way and do not know to look for a better way. A recently saw some MATLAB code that could have been a lot… read more >>

A MATLAB user recently asked me how the UI shown here was made. Those grey boxes are made from edit boxes that have been customized. This video shows how it is done. if (typeof(playerLoaded) ===… read more >>

I am a little obsessive about data visualization. I have a side project selling a book I wrote. The data is not in a nice time history form, so I need to manually gather the data then reformat and… read more >>

I was asked recently how to generate all the combinations from two possible outcomes. It reminded me of a recent post on Flowing Data about the sum of two dice. This is a nice little function,… read more >>

MATLAB does not have a polar surface plot built in. You can use a normal surface plot if you convert your polar data into Cartesian with the pol2cart command. We also cover how to get rid of the… read more >>
