Is there is any difference between otsu & graythresh??

i am trying to make image segmentation using otsu's method but i am confused about the difference between using that function (IDX = otsu()) or using graythresh(I) ,Regarding that the first function didn't work and always that error appears (??? Undefined function or method 'otsu' for input arguments of type'double'.)...

You may find Otsu doesn't work well. It seems to work best for high contrast images with well separated bimodal histograms. If you have a skewed unimodal histogram, it often doesn't pick what you'd pick if you did it manually (with my thresholding app: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/29372-thresholding-an-image). Personally I like the triangle method better - it seems to work with more images that are continuous gray scale.

graythresh is MATLAB's Image Processing Toolbox's implementation of the Otsu algorithm.
doc graythresh
Explains this in the references.

There are a few functions on the FEX with that name:
But I would avoid them in favor of the IPT standard.
