15 Apr 2012 markPoints Manually mark and count objects in an image. Author: Brett Shoelson

Lasse, your feedback isn't very helpful to me. I use this function frequently, and can assure you that it _does_ work. Perhaps you can tell me why you think it's not working, or why it's buggy, and let me take a look?

This file has been downloaded hundreds of times. Is anyone else finding it to be buggy or nonfunctional? If there are bugs to be fixed or improvements to be made, I'd like the opportunity to fix/make them.

Thanks! Brett

Hi Woody. I am not a Simulink expert, but my guess is that my usage of varargin and varargout might cause some problems with that platform. If you tweak the function syntax to have fixed inputs and outputs matching your needs, I think it should work.
Cheers,
Brett

11 Apr 2012 expandAxes Sets all axes in the handle list to expand in a new figure on buttondown. Author: Brett Shoelson

NOTE: Maryam also asked me if she could modify the tick marks on the pop-up axis. That, too, is easily done. Just make whatever changes you want to customize new_ax at the appropriate place in the code. For instance:

set(new_ax,'units','normalized',...
'position',[0.1 0.1 0.8 0.8],...
'xtickmode','auto','ytickmode','auto');

Cheers,
Brett

Maryam, it's very easy to make expandAxes do what you want. Just modify the single line in subfunction "exapandIt" where I create the figure. Change 'menubar','none' to 'menubar','figure'. Let me know if that works for you.
Cheers,
Brett

Thanks for the suggestion, Image Analyst. Would you try out my XLSAppend submission and let me know if that addresses your needs?
Thanks,
Brett

It actually works fine. The reason I couldn't make it work was because I was working on a image that had been overlayed with plots. Sorry for the first comment.

Buggy. Slow and counting does not actually work.

Hi Brett,

Nice tool, the readfromexcel-m.file that you developed eight years ago! So far I used it only within the Matlab command line. Do you know, if it is possible, to use it also within Simulink using the "Level-2 M-file S-Function"? I tried so, but the Parameter mask of this block for some reason doesn't accept the parameters, although they are accepted by the command line in Matlab:

'Filename.xlsx','sheet','sheet1','A1:C3'

Do you have any idea, what I'm doing wrong, or is your m-file only to use within the command line?

Best regards!

Max
