NEW!! Complete rebuilt of the interactive tool for Level diagrams at:
https://es.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/62224-interactive-tool-for-decision-making-in-multiobjective-optimization-with-level-diagrams

This toolbox draws Leveldiagrams for Pareto Set and its associated Front, and allows some basics graphics manipulations (coloring plot according preferences, axis manipulation and point selections) to help in decision making. Details about Leveldiagrams and some examples supplied in this toolbox are described in:
