TrajTracker analysis toolbox: Directory structure
Contents
Where are all the files stored? / setting the toolbox after installation
The TrajTracker toolbox assumes that you store your data on the file system in a certain format and a certain directory structure.
The path for a given data file is almost always specified relatively a certain base path, which is defined by the TrajTrackerDataPath() function.
You can choose any base path you want, as long as you keep your files anywhere under it. If you choose base path = "/", you can put the files everywhere on your computer; but we recommend choosing a meaningful base path, so you can later move all your data to another location and you'll only have to modify TrajTrackerDataPath()
The TrajTrackerDataPath function is not provided with the toolbox. You will find, however, a file called TrajTrackerDataPath.m.txt. Copy it, remove the ."txt" suffix, edit the function to return the base path you chose, and put the function anywhere in your matlab path.
Storing datasets
Each dataset is stored in a separate directory, which is anywhere under the base path (not necessarily a direct child of the base path).
A dataset's directory contains two sub-directories:
- raw: The raw files from the application (details...)
- binary: the data in matlab format. The preprocessed dataset will be stored here in a file called session_data.mat. You can also store here regression results and other data files.
