Due to the substantial changes in graphics made at MATLAB 2014b onwards, MSLICE does not currently works for this MATLAB version. Job is ongoing to upgrade MSLICE to be able to work with MATLAB 2014b, but currently you have to use MATLAB version < 2014b to use MSLICE

Recent working release (32 and 64 bit version): (that is what you probably want) 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 should also successfully work without mex files, but it is advised to mex Mslice to obtain approximately 10-fold gain in performance of calculation-extensive operations. The page "How to MEX MSlice" describes the ways to do that. |

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.
