GUIs and functions for analyzing STORM data in MATLAB

Authors

Core code was contributed by Alistair Boettiger and Jeffrey Moffitt.
All core code contained here is licensed under the creative commons CC BY NC. See individual help files for more information.

Some functions are dependent upon the sister repository storm-analysis, written primarily by Hazen Babcock. This repository is available here: https://github.com/ZhuangLab/storm-analysis

Installation Instructions

1. Clone this repository (see below) via git or copy the contents to your hard drive
   • New to Git? Recommended: Sign up for an account at Github.com and fork the matlab-storm project.
   • Install Windows Github on your local machine (or GitK).
   • Sign into to Windows Github on your local machine and clone the github project.
2. Clone the storm-analysis repository via git or copy the contents to your hard drive.
3. Copy startup_demo.m into your default matlab working directory. Typically this directory is "/My Documents/MATLAB"
4. Change the paths within startup_demo.m to specify the locations of the matlab-storm and storm-analysis repositories and set up a scratch folder.
   Then change the name of startup_demo.m to startup.m (or name it something else and instruct your existing startup.m script to call it).
5. Launch matlab.

Instructions for Contributing to matlab-storm

Everyone is welcome to contribute to matlab-storm but any code contributed must follow several general 'clean code' standards.

1. New functions should be written in the form described in /Templates/FunctionTemplate.m and placed in an appropriate folder in /Functions
2. Modifications to existing functions should remain backwards compatible as much as possible.
