[ome-users] Newbee question bio-formats in Matlab

[Tim C]

Hello list, this is my first post. I hope this is the right place to ask.

I want to open Zeiss ZVI microscope images in Matlab, and did as
described on http://www.loci.wisc.edu/ome/formats-matlab.html
meaning I downloaded bfopen.m and placed loci_tools.jar in my c:\Matlab\work

data=bfopen('20090423 field 1-2009-0002.zvi'); %where the zvi is an
existing file

results in
> ??? Undefined variable "loci" or class "loci.formats.ChannelFiller".
>
> Error in ==> bfopen at 40
> r = loci.formats.ChannelFiller();
c:\matlab\work is in my path.

I am using Matlab 7.0.1.24704 (R14) Service Pack 1 on Windows XP pro
SP3. I downloaded
loci_tools.jar    4.0.0 (stable release)      2009 Mar 3
> version -java is "Java 1.4.2_04 with Sun Microsystems Inc. Java
> HotSpot(TM) Client VM (mixed mode)"

My question: Do I need to do something to the bfopen.m script to adapt
it to my installation (I'm not aware that it's in any way
unusual/special)? Why doesn't "loci" seem to be defined? What am I doing
wrong?


All help is greatly appreciated!
