UISignalBuilder2

A visual tool that allows to build signals and save them to workspace variables.

You are now following this Submission

Modified version of UISignalBuilder by Laurent VAYLET.
Use this tool to create signals by mouse-clicks. They can then be exported to Matlab variables at a specified sample period.
Supports:
- Linear, spline, pchip and nearest neighbor interpolation,
- Multiple signals in one figure (you can add signals, not delete them),
- Save/reload data points to/from a workspace variable
- Export signals at a specified sample period.
- Choose which signals to export
- Export in a "Simulink|From Workspace"-friendly form (i.e. a struct with a 'time' and a 'signals' field).
- Intuitive pan/zoom

For this file, I modified the code by VAYLET. GridBagLayout was used for positioning the controls in the figure. A modified version of akZoom (named akZoom2, included in this package) was used for panning/zooming. Note that akZoom2 is not a mature product. It works for this specific project, but functionality in other cases is not guaranteed.
