optimize for loops

Hi!
I have some for loops which i'd like to optimize.

The first one is activating or not some edit fields which tags are:
Edit11, Edit12, ... Edit99.
The loop looks like this:

%---------------------------------------------------
for i=1:9
for j=1:9
edit_tag = ['Edit' int2str(i) int2str(j)];
set(findobj('tag',edit_tag), 'Enable', 'off');
end;
end;
%---------------------------------------------------

I need to use it many times with different i and j values (1:9, 4:6,
3:7 etc.)

The second one is more complicated and it's working like a filter. I
need to calculate new value of the pixel using values of pixels which
are around successive pixels. If i have a big image, this solution
takes a lot of time.

%--------------------------------------------------------
Mask = [0 -1 0; -1 5 -1; 0 -1 0]
Sum = 0;
Mult = 0;
k=1;
m=1;
ImageOut = ImageIn;
for x=2:ImageIn_Max_X-1 %loop for the image
for y=2:ImageIn_Max_Y-1
for i=x-1:x+1 %loop for the neighbour of the pixel
for j=y-1:y+1
Mult = ImageIn(i,j) * (Mask(k,m));
Sum = Sum + Mult;
m=m+1;
end; %for j
m=1;
k=k+1;
end; %for i
k=1;
ImageOut(x,y) = Sum;
Sum = 0;
end; %for y
end; %for x
%---------------------------------------------------------

So is there a way to speed up this loops????
I'll be grateful for any help.

Hi,
before going deeper into removing the for loops I'd suggest a matrix to
store
your handles (or even better, store in a matrix during creation)

editHandles = zeros(9);
for i=1:9
for j=1:9
edit_tag = ['Edit' int2str(i) int2str(j)];
editHhandles(i,j) = findobj('tag',edit_tag);
end;
end;

Later just call
set(editHandles(1:5,1:6), 'enable', 'off')

Yeah, that first loop is in desperate need of attention. Consider:
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%[colo
r=darkred] 

buttontags =

'tag4'
'tag3'
'no2'
'tag1'
 

matches =

1
1
0
1
 
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Should make short work of it.

I don't have time to play with your filter problem at the moment, but I'd
suggest you consider using the filter function. Read the help for filter2
and conv2.

Cheers,
Brett

Thank You very much guys!!! The first problem is solved. About the
second i'll read about filter2 and conv2 functions.
