Algorithm (Workflow)
This MATLAB function, workdir, is designed to manage the working directory for MATLAB scripts. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was created by Tim Lueth. The function can change the current working directory and return information about it.
Input Parameters
- wd: This is an optional input parameter representing the path to the desired working directory. If provided, the function will change the current working directory to this path.
Algorithm Steps
- Persistent Variable: The function uses a persistent variable
wd to store the working directory path across multiple calls to the function.
- Input Handling: If an input argument is provided and is not empty, the function assigns this value to the persistent variable
wd.
- Default Path: If
wd is empty, it is set to a default path: '/Volumes/LUETH-WIN/WIN AIM Matlab Libraries/SolidGeometry-Code'.
- Change Directory: The function changes the current working directory to the path stored in
wd using the cd command.
- Return Values: The function returns two values:
rwd: The current working directory path.wdtext: A hyperlink string that can be used to open the directory in MATLAB by double-clicking.
- Output Display: If no output arguments are specified, the function prints a message indicating the directory change and opens the directory using the
openbydoubleclick function.
