Briefly, to open NeuroMorphology enter GUIDE at the MATLAB prompt, go to the GUIDE Open Existing GUI dialog and open <i>NeuroMorphology.fig</i>. After opening the GUI, you can run it by selecting <b>Run</b> from the <b>Tools</b> menu or clicking the <b>Run</b> button on the GUIDE toolbar. If the directory where you unpack the <i>NeuroMorph.zip</i> is not on the MATLAB path change the current working directory to the directory containing <i>NeuroMorphology.fig</i> or add that directory to the MATLAB path.</span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><o:p> </o:p></p> <h2>Using NeuroMorphology (an example)</h2> <p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;line-height:150%'>After running the NeuroMorphology its graphical user interface will appear.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;line-height:150%'>Picture below briefly introduces main parts of the interface</span>.</p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" o:preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f"> <v:stroke joinstyle="miter"/> <v:formulas> <v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"/> <v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"/> <v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"/> <v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"/> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"/> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"/> <v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"/> <v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"/> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"/> <v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"/> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"/> <v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"/> </v:formulas> <v:path o:extrusionok="f" gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect"/> <o:lock v:ext="edit" aspectratio="t"/> </v:shapetype><v:shape id="_x0000_i1025" type="#_x0000_t75" style='width:10in; height:479.25pt'> <v:imagedata src="readme_files/image001.gif" o:title="ModelMain"/> </v:shape><![endif]--><![if !vml]><img border=0 width=960 height=639 src="readme_files/image002.jpg" v:shapes="_x0000_i1025"><![endif]></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;line-height:150%'>Let�s leave all the parameters as they are and just click on the <b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Start</b> button.
