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).

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

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).

Value

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

Details

This function requires a python interpreter to be installed. The required python packages can be installed in a virtual environment using `ifcb_py_install`.
