sure, no problem, my mistake. also adding, a major plus for matlab, is that the entry barrier is next to non-existent. e.g. you could get a literate person to load a data file, plot the data, and run a curve fitting tool in literaly zero time the commands being load data and plot(data)
and the curve fitting tool can be "mouse operated" clicking tools>basic fitting, and then selecting the gui options that come up . so the immediate reward is a huge plus for non programmers. -- vish ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gabor Szabo <[email protected]> Date: 2009/11/4 Subject: Re: [Perldl] Matlab overview To: Avishalom Shalit <[email protected]> Hi Avishalom, wouldyou mind sending your reply to the whole list?
