Hi,
I did all the steps in order to install the toolbox,
but still I don't see the toolbox in the help menue.
Thanks!

If you type path at the Matlab prompt (>> path) it will output a list of the directories that it can see. Is the k-Wave Toolbox directory in that list?
Alternatively you can see the directories on the Matlab path from the dropdown menus in File, Set Path.
Are you using Linux? Is there a permissions problem when Matlab tries to save the updated path file (pathdef.m)?

Yes, I see it on both ways you've mentioned,
but not in the help menu.
I use windows XP.
what does it meen?
that I can use the toolbox commands
but can't see the help about it?Thankk you very much!!

Sorry to hear you're still having trouble. Two things to check quickly:
1) k-Wave won't appear in the drop-down help menu, but if you click the blue circular '?' button it should appear among the list of toolboxes on the left. Is it there?
2) What happens if you type >> help k-wave at the command prompt?

I met the same problem above and try the methods mentioned.
1）（ k-Wave won't appear in the drop-down help menu, but if you click the blue circular '?' button it should appear among the list of toolboxes on the left. Is it there?）
When I try this method, k-wave also isn't appear.
2) (What happens if you type >> help k-wave at the command prompt? )
When I try this method, something appears as follows:

Did you install the toolbox by adding the k-Wave folder to the MATLAB path using File -> Set Path -> Add Folder (from the main MATLAB window), or did you add the path to a startup.m file?
Perhaps try the alternate method if the other is not working. You will need to restart MATLAB before k-Wave will appear in the help menu.
What version of MATLAB are you using?
Brad.

Hi,Brad
The trouble is resloved by upgrading MATLAB 6.5 to MATLAB 9.0.
Thank you!Posted 13 years ago # -
I have the same problem as redcloud, however it persists with Matlab 2011a. The "help k-wave" command succeeds but it doesn't appear in the Matlab help browser.
According to the instructions given here:
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/21367-adding-help-and-demos-to-the-help-browser/content/html/howto.html
I could make the help searchable (a helpsearch folder has been created and about 450 kB is in there) and I see the k-wave toolbox also in "Start > Desktop Tools > View Start Button Configuration Files."I tried to change the header of the info.xml to the template given here:
http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-1C77F/index.html?solution=1-1C77F
but it didn't work. What can I try to have the help appear in the browser?Cheers

Hi Vernal,
Two things to check, if you restart MATLAB and then use File -> Setpath from the main MATLAB window, does the k-Wave Toolbox appear in the list of folders?
Also, do you see the k-Wave entry under MATLAB start button -> Toolboxes?
Are you running windows / linux / mac os?
Brad.

Thanks for your quick reply! I had already added the k-wave folder (with subfolders) to the Matlab path manually and it is in the list. (Matlab has undergone several restarts by now and the PC has also been booted freshly several times).
It also appears in the Matlab start button menu in the toolboxes section. It has only one entry for the web page.
I'm running WinXP SP3. Any more ideas?Posted 13 years ago # -
Hi Vernal,
Under File > Preferences > Help does it have 'All Products' checked? Can you see the k-Wave Toolbox in the list on that page?

That did it! All products wasn't checked, k-wave was in the list but also unchecked.
Problem solved! Thank you very much :-)Posted 13 years ago #
