util
General utility functions used throughout matRad.
- matRad_findSubclasses(superClass, varargin)
- matRad_findSubclasses: Helper function to find subclasses
This method can find subclasses to a class within package folders and normal folders. It is not very fast, but Matlab & Octave compatible, so it is advised to cache classes once scanned.
call
classList = matRad_findSubclasses(superClass); classList = matRad_findSubclasses(superClass,’package’,{packageNames}) classList = matRad_findSubclasses(superClass,’folders’,{folderNames}) classList = matRad_findSubclasses(superClass,’includeAbstract’,true/false)

- matRad_checkMexFileExists(filename, linkOctave)
Checks if a matching mex file exists, and can create a link if a matching custom, system specific precompiled octave mex file is found
call
matRad_checkMexFileExists(filename) matRad_checkMexFileExists(filename,linkOctave)
- Input:
filename – name of the mex file (without extension)
linkOctave – (optional: default true) If set to true, the function will check for a custom build mex file for octave with our custom extension mexoct<version><system>. If such a file exists, it will create a link to the file as filename.mex since octave not uses system- specific extensions by default. If false, the function will only check for an existing .mex file for octave.
- Output:
fileExists – true if the mex file exists (or can be linked), and false otherwise

- matRad_recursiveFieldAssignment(assignTo, reference, overwrite, fieldChangedWarningMessage, fieldname)
matRad recursive field assignment tool This function recursively assigns fields from one structure to another. If both ‘assignTo’ and ‘reference’ are structures, it will recurse into their fields. If a field in ‘assignTo’ is a structure and its corresponding field in ‘reference’ is not, or vice versa, a warning message is displayed. The function also handles the case where ‘assignTo’ or ‘reference’ are not structures, directly assigning the values. Custom warning messages can be specified for overwriting fields.
call
assigned = matRad_recursiveFieldAssignment(assignTo,reference,fieldChangedWarningMessage,fieldname)
- Input:
assignTo – The initial structure to which the fields are to be assigned.
reference – The structure containing the fields and values to be assigned to ‘assignTo’.
overwrite – Boolean flag that determines if the field value should be overwritten ( by defaults ) or preserved
fieldChangedWarningMessage – Optional. A message to display if a field is overwritten. If not provided, no message is displayed.
fieldname – Optional. The name of the current field being processed. Used for generating specific warning messages.
- Output:
assigned – The structure ‘assignTo’ after assigning the fields from ‘reference’.

Octave Compatibility
Compatibility functions ensuring matRad runs correctly in GNU Octave in addition to MATLAB.
- matRad_gatherCompat(x)
- matRad wrapper around Matlab’s gather function for Octave compatibility.
In Matlab, gather transfers a gpuArray from device to host memory. Octave has no GPU array support, so this function returns the input unchanged.
call
x = matRad_gatherCompat(x)
- Input:
x array (gpuArray on Matlab, regular array on Octave)
- Output:
x array in host memory

- matRad_underlyingTypeCompat(x)
- matRad function to obtain the type of a numeric datatype.
Matlab has the function underlyingType to robustly determine the type of numerical data, since class might return, for example, “gpuArray” in case of data stored on the GPU compared to “single”, or “double” for standard arrays. This wraps the function for Octave compatibility.
call
utype = matRad_underlyingTypeCompat(x)
- Input:
x object to check for datatype
- Output:
utype datatype

- matRad_getPropsCompat(obj)
matRad function mimicking Matlab’s properties for compatibility with Octave 6 in classdef files (avoids a parse error in the file)
call
p = matRad_getPropsCompat(obj)
- Input:
obj object (classdef)
- Output:
p properties of the object

- matRad_ispropCompat(obj, prop)
matRad function mimicking Matlab’s properties for compatibility with Octave 6 in classdef files (avoids a parse error in the file)
call
result = matRad_ispropCompat(obj)
- Input:
obj object (classdef)
prop property to check for
- Output:
result true if property exists, false otherwise
