MATLAB code that can be used for detailed behavioural analyzes of the trajectories of animals be means of a semi-supervised clustering algorithm. The method is applied here to trajectories in the Morris Water Maze (see Gehring, T. V. et al., Scientific Reports, 2015) but the code can easily be adapted to other types experiments. For more information and the latest version of the code please refer to https://bitbucket.org/tiagogehring/mwm_trajectories

%EPS2PDF  Convert an eps file to pdf format using ghostscript
%
% Examples:
%   eps2pdf source dest
%   eps2pdf(source, dest, crop)
%   eps2pdf(source, dest, crop, append)
%   eps2pdf(source, dest, crop, append, gray)
%   eps2pdf(source, dest, crop, append, gray, quality)
%
% This function converts an eps file to pdf format. The output can be
% optionally cropped and also converted to grayscale. If the output pdf
% file already exists then the eps file can optionally be appended as a new
% page on the end of the eps file. The level of bitmap compression can also
% optionally be set.
%
% This function requires that you have ghostscript installed on your
% system. Ghostscript can be downloaded from: http://www.ghostscript.com
%
%IN:
%   source - filename of the source eps file to convert. The filename is
%            assumed to already have the extension ".eps".
%   dest - filename of the destination pdf file. The filename is assumed to
%          already have the extension ".pdf".
%   crop - boolean indicating whether to crop the borders off the pdf.
%          Default: true.
%   append - boolean indicating whether the eps should be appended to the
%            end of the pdf as a new page (if the pdf exists already).
%            Default: false.
%   gray - boolean indicating whether the output pdf should be grayscale or
%          not. Default: false.
%   quality - scalar indicating the level of image bitmap quality to
%             output. A larger value gives a higher quality. quality > 100
%             gives lossless output. Default: ghostscript prepress default.

% Suggestion of appending pdf files provided by Matt C at:

% Thank you to Fabio Viola for pointing out compression artifacts, leading
% to the quality setting.
% Thank you to Scott for pointing out the subsampling of very small images,
% which was fixed for lossless compression settings.
