Plot the DVH from text file exported from the TPS.
After dose calculation from eclipse, export the DVH with defined binning (e.g. 0.5 cGy). Open Matlab. In the Matlab directory, navigate to the folder and code. Type in the command window:

filename = '/Directory where the code is located/your dvh.txt'
[Whole_DVH, Structure_Name,Volume,Dose_Cover,Sampling_Cover,...
Min_Dose,Max_Dose,Mean_Dose,Modal_Dose,Median_Dose,...
STD,Equi_Sphere_Diamr,Conformity_Index,Gradient_Measure] = read_DVH_Eclipse_TPS(filename);

In the workspace, all the variable should appear. Double click and copy-paste into Excel if needed.
