This function creates a .mat file containing a character vector of class names. A class2use file can be used for manual annotation using the code in the ifcb-analysis repository (Sosik and Olson 2007).

Usage

ifcb_create_class2use(classes, filename, do_compression = TRUE)

Arguments

classes: A character vector of class names to be saved in the .mat file.
filename: A string specifying the output file path (with .mat extension).
do_compression: A logical value indicating whether to compress the .mat file. Defaults to TRUE.

Value

No return value. This function is called for its side effect of creating a .mat file.
