Copydsfields
Purpose
Copies informational fields between datasets and/or model structures.
Synopsis
- to = copydsfields(from,to,modes,block)
Description
Copies all informational fields from one dataset to another, one model structure to another, or between datasets and models. This function copies the fields: label, class, classlookup, title, axisscale, and includ as well as the "<field>name" assosciated with each (e.g. classname). If copying to or from a model structure, the fields to be copied from/to are sub-fields of the detail field. INPUTS:
- from = dataset or model from which fields should be copied, and
- to = dataset or model to which fields should be copied.
OPTIONAL INPUTS:
- modes = modes (dims) which should be copied {default: all modes}. (modes) can be a cell of {[from_modes] [to_modes]} to allow cross-mode copying.
- block = data block of model from/to which information should be copied.
- Default: block 1. Can also be a cell of {[from_modes] [to_block]} to allow cross-block copying. This setting has noeffect with two DataSet objects.Output is: to, the updated dataset or model.
OUTPUT:
- to = the updated dataset or model.
Examples
mydataset2 = copydsfields(mydataset1, mydataset2);
copies all fields for all modes of mydataset1 into mydataset2 (copies set 1 only).
mydataset2 = copydsfields(modl, mydataset2, {2 1});
copies all fields from mode 2 (variables) of modl into mode 1 of mydataset2.
modl = copydsfields(mydataset,modl,1,{1 2});
copies all fields for mode 1 (samples) from set 1 of mydataset into block 2 (e.g. y-block) of modl.
