Lighting Toolbox setup with MATLAB:
Tested with Matlab version 2022a:
- Download the Lighting Toolbox and move it to a location of your choice.
- Start Matlab
- Add the Lighting Toolbox to Matlab’s search path:
- Type: “addpath(‘path_to_lighting_toolbox/functions’)” in the command window
- Or click “Set Path” button under Matlab HOME tab -> “Add Folder…” -> select folder -> confirm -> “Save”
- Test the Lighting Toolbox functionality:
- Type: “plotciexy” in the command window
- A plot of the CIE x and y chromaticity should appear
Lighting Toolbox setup with GNU Octave:
Tested with GNU Octave version 7.1.0:
- Download the Lighting Toolbox and move it to a location of your choice.
- Start GNU Octave
- Add the Lighting Toolbox to Octave’s search path:
- type: “addpath(‘path_to_lighting_toolbox/functions’)” in the command window
- Optional: install image package:
- Type: “pkg install -forge image” in the command window
- Recommended: load image package at startup:
- Type: “edit octaverc” in command window
- Add line: “pkg load image” to octaverc file
- Save -> close Octave -> start Octave
- Test the Lighting Toolbox functionality:
- Type: “plotciexy” in the command window
- A plot of the CIE x and y chromaticity should appear
