• Minor bug fixes.

SPIW V0.2Beta - 23/6/2013
Functionality update:

• Molecular imaging *.mi files now supported
• Omicron matrix image file conversion improved. Now converts image files from Topography, Current, Frequency-Shift, Amplitude, Damping, and Phase channels.
• Omicron matrix spectroscopy conversion introduced.
• Updates to trace file type to include extra meta-data and spectroscopy
• Updated SPIW image structures to hold extra meta-data.
• New SPIW spectroscopy structure.
• New calibration tools, including tools to measure step heights.
• Function for generating line profiles, and a line profile GUI.

SPIW V0.1.2Beta - 29/5/2013
Bug fixes:
FindSteps: Due to an error when converting the original code to the toolbox this function never located steps! - FIXED
IterateMaskAndFlatten: Did not run under certain method options - FIXED
AddMask2RGB: RGB colour vectors did not work - FIXED

Help information stored in MATLAB code is now commented.

MATLAB documentation greatly improved.

SPIW V0.1.1Beta - 16/5/2013
Some bug fixes to the conversion tools for Omicron Matrix files, this bug affected Windows users only.

SPIW V0.1Beta - 16/5/2013

Most of this code has been used for a couple of years in the Nottingham Nanoscience Group, but in a different form. The original code was written by Julian Stirling(SPIW Admin) and Richard Woolley. The code was only recently split up into its current form as a general purpose toolbox.
