how to solve the error 'undefined function "branchpoints" in matlab'

I have used the code:

Suppose I is the binary image.

It=bwmorph(I,'skel');
B=bwmorph(It,'branchpoints');

But there is error with 'undefined function "branchpoints"

how to solve it? Please help me

[Walter Roberson]

I suspect that your actual code has

B=bwmorph(It,branchpoints');

without the first '

[swati mane]

No sir. My code is :

% I is the binary image
It=bwmorph(I,'skel'); 
B=bwmorph(It,'branchpoints');

The error is: undefined function"branchpoints"

It works well with my Matlab, which version are you using? On the command line type "ver".

[swati mane]

Hello sir. I am using MATLAB Version 7.5.0.342 (R2007b)

[Walter Roberson]

branchpoints was added to bwmorph() in MATLAB R2009b.

We cannot process your data and find the branchpoints and send that to you because we do not have your input files.

[swati mane]

This is my input file.Will you please share the output? Thanks in advance.

[Walter Roberson]

I do not see a file attached?

[swati mane]

Ihave attached the frame. Will you please share the output?
