How to MEX MSlice

2008-09-05T09:37:52Z

Dean Whittaker:

To create the right Fortran library files, one needs to MEX the Fortran files included with the mslice distribution. Each distribution will have the files MEXed in the correct format for that distribution. However, if you're a developer or if you want to use a system not currently supported, you can MEX the files yourself. These .f90 files are included with every distribution.

==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 and setup MSlice#Matlab Version 32 Bit|Download any Windows distribution]] of mslice and unzip to a folder of your choice.
* [[Download and setup MSlice#Matlab Version|Follow the setup instructions]].
* Open Matlab
* Type >> mslice_mex('bit') where bit is either 32 for a 32 bit system or 64 for a 64 bit system (must be a string).
* You will be asked once for your fortran compiler - when asked to show installed compilers, select 'y' and then select either the Intel Fortran compiler or G95 compiler. If neither of these is on the list then you can not MEX the files yourself. Consult your computing services about aquiring one of these compilers.
* You will then be asked for your c compiler. Choose an appropriate compiler in the same way
* A success or fail message will be displayed.

==Setup==

===Matlab Version===
* Unpack this file into <tt>'''C:\mprogs'''</tt> or a directory of your choice eg <tt>'''X:\analysis'''</tt>
* 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

<pre> addpath('c:\mprogs\mslice') % where c:\mprogs\mslice is the folder you unzipped mslice into
mslice_init </pre>

===Standalone Version===

Before using a Matlab compiled product you must run MCRInstaller.exe. 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 (for instance, you will have run this if you installed [http://www.libisis.org/Homer_Gui_setup stand alone Homer]. 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 mslice_setup_examples.exe file must be run (in the standalone version) or type >> mslice_setup_examples. Do this once whenever the directory that mslice resides in is changed.

===Start Mslice===

Double click the mslice.exe file located in the parent directory (the one the zip file was extracted to) or in Matlab simply type >> mslice. 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.

How to Distribute MSlice

2008-09-05T09:28:05Z

Dean Whittaker:

The MSlice SVN code includes files called mslice_distribute_xxx where xxx is the version you wish to distribute. Run this file, a zip file is created in the MSlice root directory called MSlice_xxx where xx is the version (eg. 'win32'). This will contain all the files that a user requires.

* [[How to MEX MSlice|MEX MSlice]] for your platform
* Run the mslice_distribute_xxx where xxx is your platform
* Move the zip file to the correct [[File Locations|File location]]

== Dos and Don'ts ==

There are a few rules when altering code that ''''MUST'''' be obeyed, these are:

* NO feval or eval statements - these do not compile
* Use the command filesep to get the folder separator for the current platform instead of using '\'
* Do not use script mfiles
* Use text files for any optional settings etc. so that a user may change them once the suite has been compiled
* Always include the mcrinstaller with any distribution

== How To Compile for Windows==

===Mex Fortran Files===

The mex files should already exist, but if required the function mslice_mex exists. Run this script to produce mex files in the correct format for your version of Matlab. See "[[How to MEX MSlice]]" for more information.

===Compile Standalone Mslice===
* open matlab. Version 2006b or later is required to use the mslice compile script.
* Make sure that your '''startup.m''' file either contains conditional isdeployed statements (so that no code executes if isdeployed is true) OR all text is commented out. The presence of code in startup.m stops any compiled applications from working, but compiling will complete. NOTE however, that the paths still have to set up (i.e. startup.m must have run when you opened Matlab, but not be available at compile-time)
* Type >> mslice_compile_win32. This will then take up to 5 minutes to compile,
* Two files now exist in the mslice_standalone folder (newly created on the same level as the mslice_compile file). The zip file and the MCRinstaller.exe file. Distribute both to users, they must run the MCRinstaller.exe file once to setup matlab components on their computer.
* A further text file complete.txt is created, this file indicates that compilation is successfull and contains a date and time stamp of the last successful build. This is for reference only.

How to MEX MSlice

2008-09-04T15:46:21Z

Dean Whittaker:

To create the right Fortran library files, one needs to MEX the Fortran files included with the mslice distribution. Each distribution will have the files MEXed in the correct format for that distribution. However, if you're a developer or if you want to use a system not currently supported, you can MEX the files yourself. These .f90 files are included with every distribution.

==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 >> mslice_mex('bit') where bit is either 32 for a 32 bit system or 64 for a 64 bit system (must be a string).
* You will be asked once for your fortran compiler - when asked to show installed compilers, select 'y' and then select either the Intel Fortran compiler or G95 compiler. If neither of these is on the list then you can not MEX the files yourself. Consult your computing services about aquiring one of these compilers.
* You will then be asked for your c compiler. Choose an appropriate compiler in the same way
* A success or fail message will be displayed.

==Setup==

===Matlab Version===
* Unpack this file into <tt>'''C:\mprogs'''</tt> or a directory of your choice eg <tt>'''X:\analysis'''</tt>
* 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

<pre> addpath('c:\mprogs\mslice') % where c:\mprogs\mslice is the folder you unzipped mslice into
mslice_init </pre>

===Standalone Version===

Before using a Matlab compiled product you must run MCRInstaller.exe. 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 (for instance, you will have run this if you installed [[Download and setup LIBISIS|stand alone Homer]]. 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 mslice_setup_examples.exe file must be run (in the standalone version) or type >> mslice_setup_examples. Do this once whenever the directory that mslice resides in is changed.

===Start Mslice===

Double click the mslice.exe file located in the parent directory (the one the zip file was extracted to) or in Matlab simply type >> mslice. 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.

==What Is Mslice?==

Mslice is a program used to display and visualise data given in .spe files usually produce by [http://www.libisis.org/Using_Homer_and_Getting_Started Homer]. Mslice is both a Matlab gui oriented program and standalone gui program. Both act in similar ways once run.
