sets a preference of the session; with save=True also in the user’s settings file, so that it holds in every later session

Syntax

setMTEXpref('maxS2Bandwidth', 256)

For this session.

setMTEXpref('kernels', 'numpy')

The NumPy forms instead of the compiled loops.

setMTEXpref('displayRows', 40, save=True)

For every later session too.

Description

Setting ‘threads’ or ‘hugePages’ applies the new value at once to the libraries it concerns. The settings file is mtex_settings.json, MATLAB’s mtex_settings.m; nothing is written when MTEX_SETTINGS is empty.

Input

name the name of the preference
value its new value

Keywords

keyword default description
save False store the preference in the user’s settings file as well
