Don't you know the problem?

You are writing a publication with LaTeX but the inscription of your graphs look ugly.

Therefore it would be nice to have the full power of LaTeX typesetting within Matlab. (Newer Matlab versions contain a TeX-link interpreter for smaller typesettig jobs, but this fails if you want to have complex formulas in you graph.)

MatToLa is a tool to extract letters out of your Matlab figure and generate a file of PicTeX commands to do the typesetting within LaTeX.

It's main advantages are:

• You get the same font in your graph as in your document.
• It works with UNIX or Windows systems.

Matlab 5, 5.1, 5.2, 5.2.1 5.3 6.0 or 6.1 required.

• main program mattola.m, 2002-Aug-08
• yapp.m, a compatibility replacement for app (an out-of date utility for LaTeX typesetting within Matlab)

MatToLa was tested using various versions of Matlab.

Due to the incompatibility of the Matlab-command legend.m there are various pitfalls that need to be treated indvidually within MatToLa.

The following is a collection of outputs which MatToLa has created using various versions of Matlab.

• testset.tgz: the whole testset including the m-files and some of the following samples
• testset_matlab5.ps.gz ...created with Matlab 5
• testset_matlab51.ps.gz ...created with Matlab 5.1
• testset_matlab521.ps.gz ...created with Matlab 5.2.1
• testset_matlab53.ps.gz ...created with Matlab 5.3
• testset_matlab6.ps.gz ...created with Matlab 6
• testset_matlab61.ps.gz ...created with Matlab 6.1
