Matlab utility functions for convenience.
vis: utility functions for making plots. Recommended for making figures for the papers.
io: utility functions for matlab class and function's input and output handling.
open_figure() automatically removes unnecessary margins in the default matlab figure setting, and it sets default text interpreter to latex. It can be used in a similar way to basic matlab figure function.
Use open_figure('margin', 'tight') to get the smallest margin.
set_axis() can be used to set properties of an individual axis.
save_figure('file_name', 'cool_figure') is used to safe a figure to a file.
Example:
x = 0:pi/100:2*pi;
y = sin(x);
palette = get_palette_colors();
% Use this instead of normal 'figure' function.
open_figure();
p = plot(x,y);
p.LineWidth = 1.5; p.Color = palette.blue;
% No need to set interpreter to latex manually.
xlabel('$x$');
ylabel('$\sin(x)$');
title('$\sin(x)$');
save_figure('file_name', 'simple', 'file_format', 'png');
parse_function_args(varargin) is used to parse keyword input arguments to a matlab function.
parse_obj_args(varargin) is used to parse keyword input arguments to a matlab class method.
Example:
function output1 = example_function(input1, varargin)
if nargin >=2
kwargs = parse_function_args(varargin{:});
