[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50543] Loading of figures (and other objects) from Octave IDE

[Georg Wiora]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #50543 (project octave):

This solution would be preferable in my opinion. It would allow a free
configuration for various file types. 
 
Therefore it would be nice if a central "openAny.m" octave function would be
called that could be used to handle the file recognition.


function result=openAny(filename)
  FileType = File_Type_Recognition_Function(filename)
  switch(FileType)
  case '.ofig':
    result=openOFIG(filename);
  case '.otherfiletype':
    result=openOTHERFILETYPE(filename);
    .
    .
    .
  otherwise:
    error('Filetype of "%s" can not be loaded!');
  endswitch
endfunction


This kind of interface is limited to load functions returning a single
argument. Therefore using varargout as for results may be more suitable.
