opt_disp is a function that displays a given message to the user if and only if a specific flag is specified. The only purpose of this function is to reduce the number of if statements within the code of other functions, thus making them a bit more readable.
Syntax
- opt_disp(X,VERBOSE)
Argument descriptions
- X: A string to be displayed to the user.
- VERBOSE: A flag (either 1 or 0) indicating whether or not X will be displayed.
Examples
Display and don't display a message to the user:
>> opt_disp('Hello\n',1)
Hello
>> opt_disp('Hello\n',0)
>>
Notes
This function is only meant to simplify code within other functions. If you always want to display the message, just use MATLAB's built-in disp or fprintf function. Note that opt_disp uses fprintf, so you may need to end your string with a newline character \n (as in the example) for it to function how you expect.
