xkcd style graphs in MATLAB

I see two ways to solve this: The first way is to add some jitter to the x/y coordinates of the plot features. This has the advantage that you can easily modify a plot, but you have to draw the axes yourself if you want to have them xkcdyfied (see @Rody Oldenhuis’ solution). The second … Read more

Differences between Octave and MATLAB [closed]

Rather than provide you with a complete list of differences, I’ll give you my view on the matter. If you read carefully the wiki page you provide, you’ll often see sentences like “Octave supports both, while MATLAB requires the first” etc. This shows that Octave’s developers try to make Octave syntax “superior” to MATLAB’s.

Representing and solving a maze given an image

Here is a solution. Convert image to grayscale (not yet binary), adjusting weights for the colors so that final grayscale image is approximately uniform. You can do it simply by controlling sliders in Photoshop in Image -> Adjustments -> Black & White. Convert image to binary by setting appropriate threshold in Photoshop in Image -> … Read more

How can I index a MATLAB array returned by a function without first assigning it to a local variable?

It actually is possible to do what you want, but you have to use the functional form of the indexing operator. When you perform an indexing operation using (), you are actually making a call to the subsref function. So, even though you can’t do this: value = magic(5)(3, 3); You can do this: value … Read more
