symbol "~" in [~,y]=f(x) for discarding returned value

Alexander Huang — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 08:17:51 -0000

At the moment, I have to replace all "~" in code developed for matlab with "xx" or other useless variable names.

Zoom & Pan on plots - freezes screen

Robert Gill — Mon, 06 Oct 2014 20:16:05 -0000

When using the zoom function within FreeMat, the function works OK until the pan function (hand icon) is invoked, then the plotting area becomes gray. I am using FreeMat 4.2 on a Windows 7 Pro OS. Any clues how to keep this from happening?

Data Tip in Plot

Robert Gill — Fri, 03 Oct 2014 18:08:35 -0000

Having used FreeMat and Matlab, I would like to have a datatip function that passes the current position of the data pointed to by the pointer, to an external array for further processing. This was a very useful function in Matlab - especially with data sets having a million pairs of (X,Y) values.

Command Line Function Mode that doesn't exit FreeMat when finished

Aaron — Wed, 09 Apr 2014 22:28:13 -0000

I am in need of a way to execute FreeMat from the Windows command line in something similar to function mode (-f flag), but without FreeMat quitting when the function has completed.

I've looked through the source code files and it looks like this feature could be implemented in the form of a new command line flag, based on the -f flag. The only change I can see that would be required is to line 27 in the new file based on FuncMode.cpp. Unless there is something about the Qt GUI system that I am not aware of, omitting the line "emit SendCommand("quit");" from the FuncMode::Fire() method would cause the function to execute within FreeMat, then GUI control to be handed back to the user (i.e. me). I would like to be able to run a user defined function programmatically through the command line, then be able to interact with the FreeMat GUI after the function has completed.

Also, is there a possibility of getting a working build environment, that will produce a FreeMat Windows executable, in a virtual machine format (VMware or virtualbox, etc.)? I'm probably capable of contributing to the development on this project, but don't have the time or energy to devote to creating a working build environment... Thanks!

matlab like linespace

elffuhs — Thu, 06 Mar 2014 18:43:42 -0000

Hi,

A function like matlab linespace is missing. I could write one, but don't know where to send new functions.
Please add this in near future

#260 erfinv is missing

Alois Schloegl — Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:33:29 -0000

I found that getenv is available on Freemat 4.2 for windows. So I need only upgrade to 4.2 and this issue is solved.
