SimpleHDRDemo.m missing from source code downloads #183

Closed dstolitzka closed 4 years ago

Please provide example scripts including the one listed in the introduction page such as, SimpleHDRDemo.m. While HDR support has been verified, getting the first tools running is missing from early documentation. Many thanks,The HDR demo I found elsewhere is related to BrightSide which is not the version VESA wants to use.

Hi,

the proper SimpleHDRDemo.m should be included in the Psychtoolbox/PsychHardware/BrightSideHDR/ folder.

I decided to rewrite the old demos in the BrightSideHDR folder for showing the new HDR support. Given that BrightSide Technologies doesn't exist any more since over 13 years, i assume that all those BrightSide DR37-P displays have died of old age by now, and PTB's support for them is totally obsolete and can be removed.

The demos still need to move into a more suitable folder like PsychDemos/ or maybe PsychDemos/HDRDemos/. But the ones mentioned in my test release should be there, even though at strange places.

If something can't be found in Matlab's path, try to cd() into the Psychtoolbox folder of the test download and run SetupPsychtoolbox() again. It will remove your normal PTB from the Matlab path and add the test release.

You can later go back to the standard release by cd(intoitsfolder) and run SetupPsychtoolobx again.

Btw. i just added another way to install the HDR test snapshot if you already have everything set up for the regular Psychtoolbox:

https://github.com/kleinerm/Psychtoolbox-3/releases/download/hdrtest1/DownloadPsychtoolboxHDRPreview.m

This is a hacked version of our standard DownloadPsychtoolbox script. It downloads only the HDR preview from my GitHub repository. It will take care of removing your standard PTB from the Matlab path and adding this HDR preview one to the path.

Then you can update to later test snapshots via the usual UpdatePsychtoolbox script. Or cd('into/the/directory/with/your/regular/Psychtoolbox'); SetupPsychtoolbox;

Probably more convenient, as i release more snapshots the next days.

The files are present, thanks for the hint. Working well, "If it works, it works, if it doesn't..."
