This toolbox is packaged as a MATLAB(R) app, which means that an application installer is provided.
When executing the installer, user will be asked to confirm the installation:
After the installation, toolbox will be visible under Matlab Apps tab:
Once the toolbox has been installed, its documentation can be browsed through doc command. This will open the homepage of Matlab help where many shortcuts of different installed toolboxes are shown. This toolbox is recognised by Matlab as Supplemental Software and its documentation can be accesed through the 3DSpineMFE Toolbox link inside Supplemental Software box.
The toolbox documentation can also be accessed directly through matlab command:
