Calling a function inside a for-loop - function

I want to create a script to read columns of data from an excel file.
I have a function that processes each column/dataset and outputs another smaller dataset. For example:
data = [1;2;3;4;5]
function y = functionname(data)
x1=data(1)*1;
x2=data(2)*2+data(3);...etc.
y = [x1,x2,x3]
endfunction
I'd like to write a for-loop to go through and send each dataset through that function; if there is an easier way to achieve this please let me know:
data = xlsread('filename.xlsx');
[rows, columns] = size(data);
#Assigning each dataset to a different variable for future reference
variable1 = data(:,1);
variable2 = data(:,2);
variable3 = data(:,3);
for i = 1:columns
outputs(i) = functionname(data(:,i))
end
What is the best way to achieve something like this?

Storing matlab array in MySQL. Again

I have a 3D array in Matlab of uint16(basically it is just an image 1080x1920x3). I want to store it in mysql. Here is what I'm doing:
MySQL:
create table imgtest(img longblob);
Matlab:
% image_data - is my image as described before
raw_im = reshape(image_data,1,[]);
conn = database('test','root','root','Vendor','MySQL','Server','localhost')
x = conn.Handle;
insertcommand = ['INSERT INTO imtest (img) values (?)'];
StatementObject = x.prepareStatement(insertcommand);
StatementObject.setObject(1,raw_im)
StatementObject.execute
The problem is that I'm writing about 600k uint16 values into this blob field. But when I take this field from the DB, I always getting about 1.2 million of uint8 elements(exactly two times more).
So, is there a way to read this byte field as a set of uint16, but not uint8?
Thank you.
I have been doing something similar for one of my projects
basically there was one difference but maybe it would clarify something to you.
I was loading image directly to DB from file with command:
INSERT INTO BaseImage(Image)
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK N'C:\co.jpg', SINGLE_BLOB) as image
and getting it back to Matlab required typecasting (just like #sebastian mentioned)
SQL_query = 'select TOP 1 pk_BaseImage,Image from BaseImage order by pk_BaseImage desc';
[data] = SQL_query_exec(SQL_query);
pk_BaseImage = data.Data.pk_BaseImage;
out = typecast(data.Data.Image{1,1},'uint8');
BUT..
it was not enough, I had to do some trick to use 'out' as image
I was forced to write it to temporary file and read it again to Matlab (I know it's strange but it worked very well and I could for example calculate DWT, DFT and so on)
image_matrix = get_image_matrix( out );
get_image_matrix function looks like:
function [ out ] = get_image_matrix( input )
targetfilename = 'temp.jpg';
%wynik
fid = fopen(targetfilename,'w');
if fid
fwrite(fid,input,'uint8');
end
fclose(fid);
out = imread(targetfilename);
delete(targetfilename);
end
I hope it will help you :)
One important notice - I used gray-scale images (uint8 type)
You can most probably typecast the uint8's into uint16's to get back at your original image data:
uint16_result = typecast(uint8_result, 'uint16');
I'm not familiar with the database toolbox - so there might well be a way to tell Matlab to do this on its own.
OK, thank you both. I've summarized your answers and this what I've got:
Since blob field is nothing more than byte array, then we should cast our data in matlab before writing it to the DB. After reading it from DB, we should cast them back.
Minimum working example is:
MySQL
create table imgtest(img longblob);
Matlab
% image_data - is my image as described before
raw_im = typecast(reshape(image_data,1,[]),'uint8'); %! the main string
conn = database('test','root','root','Vendor','MySQL','Server','localhost')
x = conn.Handle;
insertcommand = ['INSERT INTO imtest (img) values (?)'];
StatementObject = x.prepareStatement(insertcommand);
StatementObject.setObject(1,raw_im)
StatementObject.execute
After we can read it back:
res = exec(conn,'Select * from imtest')
array_uint8 = fetch(res);
array_uint8 = array_uint8{1};
array_uint16 = typecast(array_uint8,'uint16').
Hope this will help someone.

AS3 - getting variable named in order within a function

I am sorry if this is a beginner's question.
I made some Arrays named like map01, map02 and so on... As you can see, I'm making a tile-based flash here. And I need to make a function that when you input a number like: createmap(1); it will get the variable map01 and use the information.
Can I do anything like: var temp:Array = Array(["map" + valueInput]);??
Please tell me if you need anything more.
First, instead of having variables with indices in their names, you should create an array of them. Here, an array of arrays.
So you just have to call var temp:Array = maps[valueInput] as Array;.
If you really don't want to do that and stick with your n variables, you can write
var index:String = valueInput.toString();
if (index.length == 1)
index = "0" + index; //have the index on two digits "01", "02"
var temp:Array = this["map" + index];
Note that it will only work for your 99 first variables (oh God...)

Nested function with two variables in matlab

I have three functions and i want two variables to run through all the functions. I tried doing this:
R = rot(mir(sca(P(1,:),P(2,:))));
however i get this error:
Error using mir (line 2)
Not enough input arguments.
Any suggestions?
%rot.m
function rot = rot(x,y)
rot = [ cos(pi/6)*x-sin(pi/6)*y; sin(pi/6)*x+cos(pi/6)*y ];
%mir.m
function mir = mir(x,y)
mir = [x;(-y)];
%sca.m
function sca = sca(x,y)
sca = [2*x;2*y];
You should not be surprised about the error. Function mir expect two parameters (in fact, all of your functions expect that), but you provide only one. Mind you, a matrix is considered one parameter. You can do either of the following to correct the problem:
Redefine mir to accept one parameter and split it inside the function into two separate variables
Redefine sca to return two values:
function [outx, outy] = sca(x, y)
outx = 2 * x;
outy = 2 * y;
and then pass them to mir like so:
[scax, scay] = sca(x, y);
mir(scax, scay);
Obviously, the same needs to be done to function rot as well.
In MATLAB if you have more then one output argument you have to explicitly specify the output variables. By default function always returns one (the first) argument.
In your situation one choice can be to change definitions of your functions in such a way that they receive only one input argument as a matrix. For example:
%mir.m
function mir = mir(xy)
mir = [xy(1,:); -xy(2,:)];
or even easier in this case (you can simplify other functions as well):
function xy = mir(xy)
xy(2,:) = -xy(2,:);
I hope you got the idea.
Then you can run:
R = rot(mir(sca(P(1:2,:))));
If you cannot change your function definitions for some reason, you will have to split the one-line call to three function into 3 lines:
S = sca(P(1,:),P(2,:));
M = mir(S(1,:),S(2,:));
R = rot(M(1,:),M(2,:));

Matlab call a function from a function

I have two functions:
function [] = func_one()
S.pb = uicontrol('style','push','unit','pix','posit',[20 20 260 30],
'string','Print Choices','callback',{#func_two,S});
and I have the second function:
function [a] = func_two(varargin)
a = 'alon';
end
I want func_one to return the variable a of func_two. How can I do that please?
I tried:
function [a] = func_one()
But I guess I have to do something with 'callback',{#func_two,S})
Thank you all!
If, as you say, you want func_one to return the value a in func_two then the easiest way to do this without using a callback is:
function [a] = func_one()
S.pb = uicontrol('style','push','unit','pix','posit',[20 20 260 30],
'string','Print Choices');
a = func_two()
The above will allow you to say run a=func_one and a will be the string 'alon'.
If you really really want func_two() to be a callback of your pushbutton, and you want a='alon' to be assigned in the workspace of func_one (the function that calls func_two) then put this in func_two
assignin('caller','a',a)
And if neither is what you want, then maybe you can indicate why you want func_one to return what func_two returns - like the exact interaction you are hoping to have with your GUI and how it differs from what you're actually experiencing.
If you are designing a GUI programmatically, I suggest you use nested functions to share data. Example:
function IncrementExample()
x = 0;
uicontrol('Style','pushbutton', 'String','(0)', ...
'Callback',#callback);
function callback(o,e)
%# you can access the variable x in here
x = x + 1;
%# update button text
set(o, 'String',sprintf('(%d)',x))
drawnow
end
end

Calling function with changing input parameters in a loop Matlab

I have caught myself in a issue, I know its not that difficult but I couldnt figure out how to implement it. I have an m file that looks like
clear;
PVinv.m_SwF=20e3
for m=1:1:70;
PVinv.m_SwF=PVinv.m_SwF+1e3;
Lmin = PVinv.InductanceDimens();
Wa_Ac = PVinv.CoreSizeModel();
PVinv.CoreSelect(Wa_Ac);
[loss_ind_core,loss_ind_copper] = PVinv.InductorLossModel(PVinv.m_L_Selected);
Total_Inductor_Loss=loss_ind_core+loss_ind_copper
plot(PVinv.m_SwF,Total_Inductor_Loss,'--gs');
hold on
xlim([10e3 90e3])
set(gca,'XTickLabel',{'10';'20';'30';'40';'50';'60';'70';'80';'90'})
grid on
xlabel('Switching Frequency [kHz]');
ylabel('Power loss [W]');
end
And the function that is of interest is CoreSelect(Wa_Ac)
function obj = CoreSelect(obj, WaAc)
obj.m_Core_Available= obj.m_Core_List(i);
obj.m_L_Selected.m_Core = obj.m_Core_Available;
end
I want to change the value of i from obj.m_Core_List(1) to obj.m_Core_List(27) within that for loop of main m file. How can I get the value of the function coreselect when I call it in main m file
For eg for m=1 to 70 I want the function to take the value of i=1 then execute till plot command and then same with but i=2 and so on
Any suggestion would be really helpful
I'm not sure I understand your question perfectly, but I think you want to pass an index i to the CoreSelect function, and loop i from 1 to 27 outside of the function. Try this:
function obj = CoreSelect(obj, WaAc, i)
...
end
for i=1:27,
PVInv.CoreSelect(WaAc,i);
end
