How To MEX
If using an operating system that does not currently have a release of mslice, then you can MEX mslice yourself (if possible). You need to have:
- g95 Fortran compiler (or equivalent) OR Intel Fortran Compiler that is compatible with your version of Matlab.
- Matlab 7.1 or above
To MEX the files yourself:
- Download any Windows version 2 distribution of mslice and unzip to a folder of your choice.
- Follow the setup instructions below.
- Open Matlab
- Type mex -setup and select either the g95 or intel fortran compilers
- Type >> mslice_mex('bit') where bit is either 32 for a 32 bit system or 64 for a 64 bit system.
Follow the instructions below to setup mslice.
Setup
Version 2
- Unpack this file into C:\mprogs or a directory of your choice eg X:\analysis
- Open your startup.m file, if it does not exist then create it in the folder that matlab starts
- Add the following lines to the startup.m file
addpath('c:\mprogs\mslice') % where c:\mprogs\mslice is the folder you unzipped mslice into
mslice_init
Version 1
Follow the online guide here.
Using Mslice
The Version 1 Online Guide gives a good overview of how to use Matlab. Look back here for a more comprehensive guide in the future.
Two versions of mslice exist. The Matlab version can be run on any version of Matlab above 7.1, while a standalone version will run on any computer. The quick guide below demonstrates how to set up both versions.
Windows
Download
* requires Matlab 7.1 or above to run correctly.
MCRInstaller
This .exe file installs required components of Matlab on your computer. Admin rights are required to run this and it must be run the first time you download a standalone matlab application. If you have already run this file on your computer, you do not need to run it again. Run the file and follow the onscreen instructions.
Set Up Examples
Some examples are included with the program. These are .msp files used by mslice to store locations of various required data. For these to work correctly the set_up_examples.exe file must be run once whenever the directory that mslice resides in is changed.
Use Mslice
Double click the mslice.exe file located in the parent directory (the one the zip file was extracted to). An example should appear straight away. To look at other examples, click the parameters menu item and click load parameters. Then choose one of the other example .msp files to load.
Mac
No version is available for mac yet, unfortunately
Linux
No version is available for Linux yet, unfortuneately
