Re: [vmtk-users] calling VMTK from MATLAB

[Anouk P. <ano...@gm...>]

Hi Luca,

Thanks!

I do understand how I can open VMTK from MATLAB, but not how to actually
run a VMTK 'script' from MATLAB. When I use the system function it just
opens pypepad. Do you know how I can actually let it run a VMTK script?

Best wishse,

Anouk
