matlab2tikz has once greatly profited from its ancestor, Matfig2PGF,

  http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/12962

Matfig2PGF is written by Paul Wagenaars.

Also, the author would like to thank Christian Feuersänger package Pgfplots
without which the structure of matlab2tikz would hardly be possible.

Thanks for patches, suggestions, and other contributions to
