"chain" setBatch functions to create a list of batches to then be executed in one single workflow.

[marcobarilari]

Something we might have to decide for all functions that create batches.

That they simply "extend" a previous batch that is passed to them as argument:

matlabbatchOUT = setBatchFoo(matlabbatchIN, arg1)

where numel(matlabbatchOUT) = numel(matlabbatchIN) + 1

The reason why this default way of setting up is that it makes easy to "chain" setBatch functions to create a list of batches to then be executed in one single workflow.

The template could look like that.

function matlabbatch = setBatchFoo(matlabbatch, argin2, argin3)
  %
  % Short description of what the function does goes here.
  %
  % USAGE::
  %
  %   [argout1, argout2] = setBatchFoo([matlabbatch] [, argin2 == default] [, argin3])
  %
  % :param matlabbatch: 
  % :type matlabbatch: structure
  % :param argin2: optional argument and its default value. And some of the
  %               options can be shown in litteral like ``this`` or ``that``.
  % :type argin2: string
  % :param argin3: (dimension) optional argument
  %
  % :returns:
  % 
  %           - :matlabbatch: (structure)
  %

  printBatchName('nameOfThisBatch');

  if nargin<1
   matlabbatch = [];
  end

  matlabbatch{end + 1}. %
  matlabbatch{end}. % 

end
