'''Due to the substantial changes in graphics made in MATLAB 2014b onwards, we upgraded MSLICE graphics. We believe that the main problems caused by the changes are resolved, but as the changes are so fundamental, some issues may still exist. Please, inform us in usual way if you found an issue with Mslice graphics. Meanwhile, you may need to use MATLAB 2014a and lower to be sure all MSLICE features work.'''

Matlab Versions

Windows Linux MacOS

Recent working release (32 and 64 bit version): (that is what you probably want)

Matlab 2008b-onwards

The release is supplied with working 32 and 64 bit mex files for Windows and 32-bit Linux (built for Ubuntu 9.04) and has been tested against Matlab 2008b and above. It should work with any later Matlab version using mex files. Mslice successfully works without mex files, but you may want to mex Mslice to use it on an old computer, where the gain in performance due to mex files can still be essential. The page "How to MEX MSlice" describes the ways to do that. Modern computers (I5 and higher, 4Gb of RAM) are fast enough to process data without mex files.

Standalone Versions

Windows Linux MacOS

Current releases:

MSlice Standalone for Windows 32bit (June 2012) (with proper MCRInstaller)

MSlice Standalone for Windows 64bit (June 2013) (with proper MCRInstaller)

Old (compartibility) release:

MCRInstaller (Required for old Windows 32 bit Mslice)

MSlice Standalone old for Windows 32 bit

MSlice Standalone for RHEL 64bit (Aug 2010) (with proper MCRInstaller)

Not Tested so try it on your own risk

Not Available

Set Up

Matlab Version

  • Unpack this file into C:\mprogs or in a directory of your choice eg X:\ISIS
  • Open your startup.m file (if it does not exist, then type
  >>edit startup.m 

in the matlab window immediately after matlab started or save this file in the folder where 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 

Standalone Version

Unpack the archive into the directory of your choice keeping the structure of folders you find within the archive.

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.

After MATLAB components are installed, you can run mslice.exe

Examples

Some examples are included with the program. These are .msp files used by mslice to store locations of various mslice parameters and references to the required data plus the data themselves. After installation you can look through these examples choosing them from Parameters window and selecting examples from /Data directory, located below your mslice installation folder.

Start Mslice

To stat mslice in Matlab, type >> mslice. To start the standalone version, double click the mslice.exe file. An example should appear in the GUI 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.
