- add the repository folder to MATLAB's path.

prettify_matlab doesn't use any of MATLAB's add-on toolboxes.

### Dependencies 

- [colorbrewer](https://github.com/DrosteEffect/BrewerMap), to generate colormaps 

- [rgb](https://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/1805-rgb-m) - modified version (called with `prettify_rgb()`) already included. 

## :triangular_flag_on_post: Features     

### Prettify code

Run `prettify_current_code;` to prettify your current script open in the MATLAB editor. All code editing rules are stored in the `formatRules.xml` file, where they can easily be changed.



### Prettify plots

Run `prettify_plot;` to prettify your current figure (includes all subplots). Includes options to modify the background color, text size and homogenize x and y limits across plots. 



### Prettify colors

#### Colorblind simulator 

Run `prettify_colorblind_simulator;` to plot your current figure as it would seen with different types of color blindness.
