Event
The 10th Recurrence Plot Symposium will be at August 28-30, 2023, in Tsukuba, Japan. You are warmly invited to join this exciting and unique meeting!Further information: http://symposium.recurrence-plot.tk/
How to get
Download the installation script into a folder, which is accessible by MATLAB. The installation script should have the name install.m. This toolbox needs MATLAB 5.3 or newer because it uses commands that are not available in previous versions.

How to install
- Start MATLAB and change into the folder, where the downloaded file is located.
- Call the command install from the MATLAB command line; the toolbox will be automatically installed into the MATLAB's toolbox folder and added to the startup.m file.
How to deinstall
Just call the command crpclean from the MATLAB command line. This will remove all files of the CRP toolbox from the filesystem and its entry from the MATLAB startup file.
If you encounter problems
First, please consult the FAQ. If you cannot find a solution there, you should use the Recurrence Plot Forum to ask for a solution. Please understand that we cannot answer every eMail regarding the CRP toolbox.
