Rudawski, Frederic, Lighting Toolbox for Matlab and Octave, 2022, version 1.16, URL: https://github.com/Frudawski/LightingToolbox

Lighting Toolbox setup with MATLAB:

Tested with Matlab version 2022a:

  1. Download the Lighting Toolbox and move it to a location of your choice.
  2. Start Matlab
  3. 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”
  4. 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:

  1. Download the Lighting Toolbox and move it to a location of your choice.
  2. Start GNU Octave
  3. Add the Lighting Toolbox to Octave’s search path:
    • type: “addpath(‘path_to_lighting_toolbox/functions’)” in the command window
  4. Optional: install image package:
    • Type: “install package -forge image” in the command window
    • Recommended: load image package at startup:
      1. Type: “edit octaverc” in command window
      2. Add line: “pkg load image” to octaverc file
      3. Save -> close Octave -> start Octave
  5. Test the Lighting Toolbox functionality:
    • Type: “plotciexy” in the command window
    • A plot of the CIE x and y chromaticity should appear
