SVN diff

The difference between working copy and HEAD; the changes which would need to be made to what is now in the repository (HEAD), to produce your working copy:

svn diff -r HEAD --old=

Of possible interest, the difference between BASE and HEAD; changes that have been checked into the repository since you last updated working copy:

svn diff -r BASE:HEAD 

And of course the difference between BASE and working copy; the changes you have made since you last updated working copy:

svn diff 

There are three versions being discussed: BASE, working copy, and HEAD.

• BASE: as last checked out / updated. What working copy would revert to after using svn revert
• working copy: local modifications to which has been checked out / updated as recently as BASE
• HEAD: latest modifications in repository. Equivalent to BASE iff no changes have been committed since was checked out / updated as working copy.

ImageJ 3DViewer - maximize image resolution

To maximize resolution for 3DViewer, set resampling factor to 1

Bash set variable to command output

In addition to the backticks, you can use $(), which I find easier to read, and allows for nesting.

OUTPUT="$(ls -1)"
echo "${OUTPUT}"

Quoting (") does matter to preserve multi-line values.

Ubuntu Matlab Plot Fonts

That was the elusive information we needed: I looked at my 11.04 that worked (I was the OP on the other thread) and compared font paths. What you need to install is:

xfonts-100dpi and
xfonts-75dpi

logout and log back in again and you should be away laughing! (worked for me on a fresh install)

bash: Simple way to move files only from one location to another

In the case you have many files to move, and your folder tree has nothing special, use

mv ./*.* destination_path

This will also move directories containing a dot in the name and will ignore files without extensions...quick hack
