Algorithm (Workflow)

This function, smbPSLibCompile, is designed to compile a PS Library in the current directory. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 3.2. The function does not take any input parameters and operates based on the current working directory and specific library paths.

Steps in the Algorithm:

1. Store Current Directory: The function begins by storing the current working directory in the variable adir using the pwd command.
2. Get PS Library Name: It retrieves the name of the PS Library by calling the function smbPSLibname and stores it in the variable psdir.
3. Change Directory: The function changes the current directory to the one returned by smbFilename using the cd command.
4. Build the Library: It calls the ssc_build function with a specific substring of psdir. This substring is extracted by finding the position of the '+' character in psdir and taking the part of the string from the character after '+' to the second last character.
5. Check and Add Path: The function checks if the path returned by smbFilename is already in the MATLAB path using ispath. If not, it adds this path using addpath.
6. Return to Original Directory: Finally, the function changes back to the original directory stored in adir.

Key Functions Used:

• pwd: Returns the current working directory.
• smbPSLibname: Presumably returns the name of the PS Library.
• smbFilename: Presumably returns the directory path where the library is located.
• ssc_build: A function used to build or compile the library.
• ispath: Checks if a given path is already in the MATLAB path.
• addpath: Adds a specified directory to the MATLAB path.
• cd: Changes the current directory.
