Inheritance diagram of nipype.interfaces.matlab

General matlab interface code

Classes

MatlabCommand

class nipype.interfaces.matlab.MatlabCommand(matlab_cmd=None, **inputs)

Bases: nipype.interfaces.base.CommandLine

Interface that runs matlab code

>>> import nipype.interfaces.matlab as matlab
>>> mlab = matlab.MatlabCommand()
>>> mlab.inputs.script = "which('who')"
>>> out = mlab.run() 
__init__(matlab_cmd=None, **inputs)

initializes interface to matlab (default ‘matlab -nodesktop -nosplash’)

aggregate_outputs(runtime=None, needed_outputs=None)

Collate expected outputs and check for existence

always_run
can_resume
cmd

sets base command, immutable

cmdline

command plus any arguments (args) validates arguments and generates command line

classmethod help(returnhelp=False)
input_spec

alias of MatlabInputSpec

output_spec = None
raise_exception(runtime)
run(**inputs)

Execute this interface.

This interface will not raise an exception if runtime.returncode is non-zero.

Parameters :

inputs : allows the interface settings to be updated

Returns :

results : an InterfaceResult object containing a copy of the instance

that was executed, provenance information and, if successful, results :

classmethod set_default_matlab_cmd(matlab_cmd)

Set the default MATLAB command line for MATLAB classes.

This method is used to set values for all MATLAB subclasses. However, setting this will not update the output type for any existing instances. For these, assign the <instance>.inputs.matlab_cmd.

classmethod set_default_mfile(mfile)

Set the default MATLAB script file format for MATLAB classes.

This method is used to set values for all MATLAB subclasses. However, setting this will not update the output type for any existing instances. For these, assign the <instance>.inputs.mfile.

classmethod set_default_paths(paths)

Set the default MATLAB paths for MATLAB classes.

This method is used to set values for all MATLAB subclasses. However, setting this will not update the output type for any existing instances. For these, assign the <instance>.inputs.paths.

MatlabInputSpec

Parameters :

metadata : dictionary

Criteria for selecting trait attributes

classmethod class_trait_view(name=None, view_element=None)

clone_traits(traits=None, memo=None, copy=None, **metadata)

Clones a new object from this one, optionally copying only a specified set of traits.

Parameters :

traits : list of strings

The names of the trait attributes to copy.

memo : dictionary

A dictionary of objects that have already been copied.

copy : None | ‘deep’ | ‘shallow’

The type of copy to perform on any trait that does not have explicit ‘copy’ metadata. A value of None means ‘copy reference’.

Returns :

The newly cloned object. :

configure_traits(filename=None, view=None, kind=None, edit=True, context=None, handler=None, id='', scrollable=None, **args)

Creates and displays a dialog box for editing values of trait attributes, as if it were a complete, self-contained GUI application.

Parameters :

filename : string

The name (including path) of a file that contains a pickled representation of the current object. When this parameter is specified, the method reads the corresponding file (if it exists) to restore the saved values of the object’s traits before displaying them. If the user confirms the dialog box (by clicking OK), the new values are written to the file. If this parameter is not specified, the values are loaded from the in-memory object, and are not persisted when the dialog box is closed.

view : view or string

A View object (or its name) that defines a user interface for editing trait attribute values of the current object. If the view is defined as an attribute on this class, use the name of the attribute. Otherwise, use a reference to the view object. If this attribute is not specified, the View object returned by trait_view() is used.

kind : string

The type of user interface window to create. See the traitsui.view.kind_trait trait for values and their meanings. If kind is unspecified or None, the kind attribute of the View object is used.

edit : Boolean

Indicates whether to display a user interface. If filename specifies an existing file, setting edit to False loads the saved values from that file into the object without requiring user interaction.

context : object or dictionary

A single object or a dictionary of string/object pairs, whose trait attributes are to be edited. If not specified, the current object is used

handler : Handler object

A handler object used for event handling in the dialog box. If None, the default handler for Traits UI is used.

id : string

A unique ID for persisting preferences about this user interface, such as size and position. If not specified, no user preferences are saved.

scrollable : Boolean

Indicates whether the dialog box should be scrollable. When set to True, scroll bars appear on the dialog box if it is not large enough to display all of the items in the view at one time.

copy_traits(other, traits=None, memo=None, copy=None, **metadata)

Copies another object’s trait attributes into this one.

Parameters :

other : object

The object whose trait attribute values should be copied.

traits : list of strings

A list of names of trait attributes to copy. If None or unspecified, the set of names returned by trait_names() is used. If ‘all’ or an empty list, the set of names returned by all_trait_names() is used.

memo : dictionary

A dictionary of objects that have already been copied.

copy : None | ‘deep’ | ‘shallow’

The type of copy to perform on any trait that does not have explicit ‘copy’ metadata. A value of None means ‘copy reference’.

Returns :

A list of attributes that the method was unable to copy, :

which is empty if all the attributes were successfully copied. :

copyable_trait_names(**metadata)

Returns the list of trait names to copy or clone by default.

default_traits_view()

Returns the name of the default traits view for the object’s class.

Displays a user interface window for editing trait attribute values.

Parameters :

view : view or string

A View object (or its name) that defines a user interface for editing trait attribute values of the current object. If the view is defined as an attribute on this class, use the name of the attribute. Otherwise, use a reference to the view object. If this attribute is not specified, the View object returned by trait_view() is used.

parent : window handle

A user interface component to use as the parent window for the object’s UI window.

kind : string

The type of user interface window to create. See the traitsui.view.kind_trait trait for values and their meanings. If kind is unspecified or None, the kind attribute of the View object is used.

context : object or dictionary

A single object or a dictionary of string/object pairs, whose trait attributes are to be edited. If not specified, the current object is used.

handler : Handler object

A handler object used for event handling in the dialog box. If None, the default handler for Traits UI is used.

id : string

A unique ID for persisting preferences about this user interface, such as size and position. If not specified, no user preferences are saved.

scrollable : Boolean

Indicates whether the dialog box should be scrollable. When set to True, scroll bars appear on the dialog box if it is not large enough to display all of the items in the view at one time.

editable_traits()

Returns an alphabetically sorted list of the names of non-event trait attributes associated with the current object.

get(**kwargs)

Returns traited class as a dict

Augments the trait get function to return a dictionary without notification handles

get_hashval(hash_method=None)

Return a dictionary of our items with hashes for each file.

Searches through dictionary items and if an item is a file, it calculates the md5 hash of the file contents and stores the file name and hash value as the new key value.
