Tools for MATLAB that I use often

MATLAB_Tool

These are some tools for MATLAB that I use often. Specifically, if some MATLAB code I wrote prompts you that some scripts are missing, they are most likely here.

I set up my MATLAB to have these tools available by default. To do this, I change the MATLAB userpath to the folder containing these files. This way on MATLAB startup startup.m will run and these files will be in MATLAB's search path.

To get matlab-schemer when you clone this repo, see the insturction about git submodule at the end.

Now a description of what some of these scripts does:

1. figure_default.m: set the default figure properties to the style that I perfer. In particular, the text interpreter are set to be 'latex' and the color for line plots are ones freindly to colorblindness.
2. pplot.m: (pretty (enough) plot) call this function after the plotting commands. It sizes the figures so that they can be placed on a document without being scaled. 8cm is the right width so that 2 figures fit on a letter page side-by-side. (This function also place the figure on the monitor that works for my dual monitors setup, play with x0 and y0 to make this work for you)
3. figs_convert.m: call this function to convert all fig files in the folder to another type of files (the default is pdf).
4. subaxis.m: tools to make formatting subplots easier. From MATLAB File Exchange, authored by Aslak Grinsted. I made a modification to fix an oversight of the original version, see detail in Ryan_change.txt.

To also clone the submodules of this repository, use the insturction about git submodule available here. Specifically, you could clone using

git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://github.com/Empyreal092/MATLAB_Tool.git

or after you have cloned this repo, cd into the folder, and type in

git submodule update --init --recursive

matlab_tool's Issues

figs_convert make PDF does not work properly for figure with subplots or inset

It will convert one of the subplots or the inset.
