Algorithm (Workflow)

This function, SGlibpath, is designed to return the file path of the toolbox directory in which it resides. It is a utility function for file handling, specifically within the SolidGeometry library.

Input Parameters

The function SGlibpath does not take any input parameters. It is called without arguments.

Output

• fpath: This is the output of the function. It is a string representing the file path of the toolbox directory, without a trailing file separator.

Algorithm Steps

1. The function uses the which command to determine the full path of a specific file, in this case, 'PLcircle'. The which function is a built-in MATLAB function that returns the full path to the specified file or function.
2. The result from which is stored in the variable fullpath.
3. The function then calls fileparts on fullpath. The fileparts function is another built-in MATLAB function that splits a full file path into its constituent parts: the path, the file name, and the file extension.
4. The fileparts function returns the directory path, which is stored in the variable fpath.
5. The function returns fpath as the output, which is the directory path of the toolbox without a trailing file separator.

Example Usage

To use the function, simply call SGlibpath in the MATLAB command window. It should work on both Mac and PC platforms:
