Replace Values in MATLAB Classlist

This function replaces a target class ID with a new ID in MATLAB classlist files, generated by the code in the ifcb-analysis repository (Sosik and Olson 2007).

Usage

ifcb_replace_mat_values(
  manual_folder,
  out_folder,
  target_id,
  new_id,
  column_index = 1,
  do_compression = TRUE
)

Arguments

manual_folder: A character string specifying the path to the folder containing MAT classlist files to be updated.
out_folder: A character string specifying the path to the folder where updated MAT classlist files will be saved.
target_id: The target class ID to be replaced.
new_id: The new class ID to replace the target ID.
column_index: An integer value specifying which classlist column to edit. Default is 1 (manual).
do_compression: A logical value indicating whether to compress the .mat file. Default is TRUE.

Value

This function does not return any value; it updates the classlist files in the specified directory.

Details

The MAT files are read and written directly from R, producing output identical to the MATLAB ifcb-analysis format.
