[[Figure Positioning Tool]]
=== Matlab ===
====Description:====
A tool to facilitate positioning of figures on a certain location on the screen.


====Usage:====
The following two tools are very useful when creating figures for scientific publications. They give you full control on figure size, margins, font, font size, etc, etc.
Position the figure with number ''fignr'' at a desired location. Run the function pos(''fignr'') in the command prompt of matlab. This will copy a command similar to
''set(1,'position',[1400 530 560 420]);''
to your clipboard. Next, paste this line after the figure(''fignr''); command in your m-file (use CTRL-V). The next time you run the m-file, the figure will be positioned at the desired location.

Matlab

The following two tools are very useful when creating figures for scientific publications. They give you full control on figure size, margins, font, font size, etc, etc.

Tool to set the position and size of figures on your screen. Usefull when you want to position figures side by side every time you run your m-file.

Tools to make nice Bode and Nyquist plots for articles and reports

Mass-spring-damper models (arbitrary number of masses)

ShapeIt - Loopshaping Controller Design Tool

Simulink

Discrete time controller blocks, on the Matlab command prompt use make.m to mex the c-files first. Command "dctools" will open a template model with the controller filters. Drag and drop them from the template model to your own model. The discrete-time implementation of the blocks has been based on "Tustin-with-prewarping". The prewarping frequency has been chosen with respect to the respective block function, e.g. for a pure notch filter the prewarping frequency is equal to the notch frequency.
