In the recent Puzzler about the spiral, most of the code that was produced went along the following: Create the spiral matrix Find the indices of the ‘1’s in the binary targets… read more >>
I recently got an e-mail from a MATLAB user that had a large dataset in Excel. They wanted to import the data and “take the average of the graph”. It turns out that meant fitting a… read more >>
I am about to leave for a recruiting trip to Carnegie Mellon University. Be sure to stop by the booth and say hello (or ARGHHH! if I see you on Friday, International Talk like a Pirate Day!) If you… read more >>
Today, Brett, Bob and Jiro have completed their inheritance of Pick of the Week blog. There is a fine heritage of Applications Engineers running the Pick of the Week blog. Scott Hirsch and I… read more >>
Very often MATLAB users want to be able to process a set of files from a directory. In this video, I show how you can look through a directory seeking files of the form “data###.dat” and… 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 >>
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 >>
