Check and curl the file list.

So, I had downloaded a bunch of files using curl.
However, the number of files seem to be less than what I had in the list.

Simple program to check if the file exists, else download using curl.

My trouble was that the list had repeated items. Had not checked before running around... Sigh!

clc

fid = fopen('urls.txt');
flist = textscan(fid, '%s');
fclose(fid);

for jj = 1:length(flist{1})
    fn = flist{1}{jj}
   
    fnlocal = fn(28:length(fn));
   
    if exist(fnlocal,'file')>0
        jj
        fnlocal
        pause(0.5)
        % do nothing
       
    else
        %curl
       
        command = ['curl -L -O ' fn];
        system(command)
       
    end
end

Install using software-center in Ubuntu

So I had trouble getting Meld diff viewer software using the software center.
Whenever I tried to install it, it asked the password for the first user.

This can be solved by sudoing the software center from terminal
$ sudo software-center

Then Install the Meld diff viewer.
 

Download from list using curl in shell/terminal

So, I had to get data from a text file with the list of url.

I saved the url (one per line) in a txt file. Then executed the command
-O saves teh given name in the server. -L gracefully handles redirects if any.

xargs -n 1 curl -O -L < urls.txt

Creating CDF plot.

Generate a CDF plot

close all

y = randn(1,40000);

figure

hist(y,40)

title('Histogram')

% xlimit([-3,3])

  saveas(gcf, ['SAVE/',  'Histogram-Gaussian', num2str(mm)], 'png')

figure

cdfplot(y)

  saveas(gcf, ['SAVE/',  'CDF-Gaussian', num2str(mm)], 'png')

        

Load saved figure and save in fullscreen size

Code

% Load figure
filename =dir;
filename.name
for jj = 3:length(filename)
    this = filename(jj).name;
    hfig=  openfig(this,'reuse');
    set(hfig,'Units', 'Normalized', 'OuterPosition', [0 0 1 1]);
     set(hfig,'paperorientation','portrait');

 %     saveas(gcf,[this,'.png'])
% pause
 
end
