writefis
Save the specified FIS currently in the Octave workspace to a file named by the user.
There are three forms of writefis:
| Number of Arguments | Action Taken |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open a dialog GUI to help the user choose a directory and name for the output file. |
| 2 | Do not open a dialog GUI. Save the FIS to a file in the current directory with the specified filename. If the specified filename does not end in ’.fis’, append ’.fis’ to the filename. |
| 3 | Open a dialog GUI with the specified filename in the ’filename’ textbox of the GUI. If the specified filename does not end in ’.fis’, append ’.fis’ to the filename. |
The types/values of the arguments are expected to be:
| Argument | Expected Type or Value |
|---|---|
| fis | an FIS structure satisfying is_fis (see private/is_fis.m) |
| filename | a string; if the string does not already end with the extension ".fis", then ".fis" is added |
| dialog | the string ’dialog’ (case insensitive) |
Note: The GUI dialog requires zenity to be installed on the system.
Known error: When using the file dialog, if the user clicks "Cancel" instead of saving the file, an error message is generated.
