Algorithm (Workflow)

This function, SGopentoline, is designed to open a specified file in the MATLAB editor and navigate to a specific line number. It is a workaround for the opentoline function, which may not work in certain MATLAB versions.

Input Parameters

fname: The name of the file to be opened. This should be a string representing the filename.
line: The line number to which the editor should navigate. This should be an integer.

Algorithm Steps

The function first resolves the full path of the file using the which function. This ensures that the correct file is located, even if it is not in the current directory.
It checks if the code is running in a deployed application using isdeployed. If the code is not deployed, it proceeds to the next step.
The function then calls matlab.desktop.editor.openAndGoToLine with the resolved filename and the specified line number. This opens the file in the MATLAB editor and navigates to the specified line.

Example Usage

To open the file PLcircle and navigate to line 20, you would call the function as follows:

SGopentoline('PLcircle', 20)

This function is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 5.1. It is categorized under auxiliary procedures and was created by Tim C. Lueth.
