| 6 | | The package uvmat can be used to visualise, scan and analyse a wide variety of input data: all image and movie formats recognised by Matlab (see [#a3.1Inputdataformats section 3.1]), NetCDF binary files(see [#a7.1TheNetCDFformat: section 7]). It is however particularly designed for laboratory data obtained from imaging systems: it includes a Particle Image Velocimetry software, as well as tools for geometric calibration, masks, grid generation and image pre-processing (e.g. background removal), and editing xml documentation files. Stereoscopic PIV, PIV-LIF and 3D PIV in a volume (still under development) are handled. |

| 29 | | A short comment about each GUI uicontrol (push buttons, edit boxes, menus..), as well as the tag name of this uicontrol, is provided as a tool tip window by moving the mouse over it. In the present help document, the tags of GUI uicontrols are quoted as '''[uicontrol tag]''', names of files in the package are quoted as ''fct name.m'', and commands on the Matlab workspace as '>> command’. Features not yet implemented or tested (in particular 3D features) are marked by **. |

| 44 | | Type '>>uvmat' in the Matlab prompt to display the GUI. If the function is unknown by Matlab, add the appropriate path (see the Matlab command '>>help path'). When the GUI is opening, the date of last modfication is displayed in the central window. During opening, the program checks the Matlab path to all the functions of the package (using the function ''check_functions.m''). If a function is missing, or if it is overridden by a function with the same name at another path location, a message is displayed in the central window at the opening of the GUI '''uvmat.fig'''. Finally, if the svn server is availlable, the latest version number of the uvmat package is indicated (if a line-command version of svn is available). |

| 50 | | Each of theses graphic elements is described by a tag name, which can be displayed by moving the mouse over it: a tool tip window appears with the tag name followed by a short help description. The element tag and content can be also displayed in a zoom window, and possibly edited there, by a right hand mouse selection on the element. As a rule, tag names for checkboxes begins by 'Check', while tags of elements with numerical content begins by 'num_'. |
