How do I tell MATLABScript where my matlab path is?

[Clueless1]

Well,

I found the MATLAB (That's right REAL MATLAB) script nodes buried in some godforsaken function pallet.  How do I get it into the structures pallet where it belongs???

OK, so how do I tell the scriptnode where to look for mfiles?

Too bad it doesn't support structures/clusters.  Does anyone have any tricks for say flattening the cluster and reconstituting it on the matlab side?

String arrays to array of string cells would be nice to add to MATLAB script node too.

thanks

To answer your questions one by one:

---

You can edit your palette to place items wherever you want. Tools -> Advanced -> Edit Palette Set.

---

OK, so how do I tell the scriptnode where to look for mfiles?

You have to set the working directory with the appropriate Matlab command. Try a "cd" command.

You can only deal with the datatypes that Matlab provides. Matlab has a struct data type, but I suspect you're probably better off manipulating the data prior to passing it to Matlab into simpler datatypes rather than trying to deal with a flattened string.

Thanks for the help.

MATLAB supports a lot more data types than what the scriptnode can handle.

Well, the way things are set into concrete I have no choice but break up clusters outside of MATLAB script.

However, I would really be in high cotton if the NI developers had written the glue code to pass more data types in.  If you don't think this can be done, send me the LV source  and I'll show you how to do it!
