Assignment notes

Running Matlab: Unfortunately, there is a bug in the current MATLAB installation in the pool. Before running Matlab it is therefore required to define a certain environment variable. Choose My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> New (in User Variables). Now define MATLAB_PREFDIR=C:\TEMP\<username>

Installing OMToolbox: In the exercises we will make use of the OmToolbox - an Interface of the OpenMesh Library to Matlab. To install it follow these steps

• download the Toolbox either Windows Binaries  or Source
• extract OMT archive
• Under Windows in the Pool: Set environment variable VS80COMNTOOLS to the same value as VS90COMNTOOLS, e.g. c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\ (for defining environment variables see Running Matlab). The value of VS90COMNTOOLS can be determined by running the command "set" in the command window
• start Matlab
• add OMT directory and its subdirectories to the Matlab path via File -> Set Path -> Add With Subfolders
