iris.startup

Start an Iris session

Syntax

iris.startup
iris.startup(flag, flag, ...)

Flags

"silent"

Do not print introductory message on the screen.

"tseries"

Use the old tseries class as the default time series class.

Do not verify the Iris release check file.

Description

We recommend that you keep the IRIS root directory on the permanent Matlab search path. Each time you wish to start working with IRIS, you run iris.startup form the command line. At the end of the session, you can run iris.finish to remove IRIS subfolders from the temporary Matlab search path, and to clear persistent variables in some of the backend functions.

The iris.startup performs the following steps:

  • Adds necessary IRIS subdirectories to the temporary Matlab search path.

  • Removes redundant IRIS folders (e.g. other or older installations) from the Matlab search path.

  • Resets IRIS configuration options to default and updates the location of TeX/LaTeX executables.

Examples

Plain vanilla startup

iris.startup

Startup with no intro message
