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 up to
version 7 of Matlab.
[The QTFM folder must be near the top of the path, i.e.
higher than the standard Matlab folders, otherwise the
overloading of Matlab functions will not work.]
3.
Help information is available from the Matlab Start menu
(at bottom left of the Matlab window) under Toolboxes
-> Quaternion; or in the Matlab Help browser (Quaternion
Toolbox should appear as one of the help items in the left
side pane).
You can also access help information in the
Matlab command window: try help qtfm. In Matlab version 8
the help information is found under Supplemental Software
in the Help window.
4. help quaternion/xxx shows help text for each function xxx
and more detailed help is available in the help documentation
(see 3 above).
5. To run a test of the toolbox, type the command 'qtfm_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. It is also possible to invoke the test code from
the Matlab start menu prior to Matlab 8
(Toolboxes -> Quaternion -> Run test code).
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. You can
subscribe to this list at:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qtfm-announce
7. LaTeX/BiBTeX users please note the file qtfm.bib provided
in the directory tex/bibtex if you wish to cite QTFM itself
or one of the published papers cited within the source code.
There is a separate entry in the file for QFTM version 2.
Please use this if you cite QTFM for work on octonions.
8.
We would welcome contributed code, ideas for new functions,

or expanded examples to include in the help documentation.


(Contributed code must be made available under the same
license terms as QTFM itself). Please contact us by email
as in below.
