Dear bug-fixers,
I was trying to read in a tiff file for display in Matlab. I noted
that Athena has a "tiffread" function, so I attempted to use it:
[X,MAP] = tiffread('StanLaurel.tif');
On at least two platforms, Solaris and Linux, the M-file crashes with
this error message:
??? Improper null index in null matrix.
Error in ==> /mit/matlab/Matlab4.2/toolbox/images/tiffread.m
On line 425 ==> draw(a) = draw(a) + 256;
Not wanting to try and debug the M-file, I surfed on over to the
Matlab web page and downloaded "their" version of tiffread.m at
ftp://ftp.mathworks.com/pub/mathworks/toolbox/images/tiffread.m
*This* version does differ from the Athena version, although it was
clearly cut from the same cloth. The major difference is that this
version works on the Linux and Solaris platforms! I suspect that it's
a newer version of the M-file which is more tolerant of different
flavors of tiff file (the file I was trying to read had been created
by the Athena xv program).
Could you please replace Athena's current version of tiffread with the
one I pointed you to above? Thanks!
Dave
