Quaternion toolbox for Matlab - installation instructions --------------------------------------------------------- To install this toolbox: 1. Unzip the distribution file and move the directory/folder to a convenient location. This does not need to be in the same location as toolboxes supplied with Matlab, although it could be if your Matlab installation is to be used by multiple users on the same machine. 2. Set the Matlab path to include the directory/folder qtfm. This is done from the Matlab File -> Set Path menu. 3. Type 'help qtfm' in the Matlab command window for some words of explanation about the toolbox. 4. help quaternion/xxx shows help text for each function xxx. 5. To run a test of the toolbox, set the current directory to .../qftm/test and type the command 'test' in the Matlab command window. This runs a test of many parts of the toolbox and will allow you to confirm that installation is correct. 6. If you find the toolbox useful and would like to be kept informed of updates and future releases, subscribe to the mailing list qtfm-announce@lists.sourceforge.net.
