midprefs (System Identification Toolbox)

Select a directory for idprefs.mat, a file that stores the graphical user interface's start-up information.

Syntax

```
midprefs
midprefs(path)
```

Description

The graphical user interface ident allows a large number of variables for customized choices. These include the window layout, the default choices of plot options, and names and directories of the four most recent sessions with ident. This information is stored in the file idprefs.mat, which should be placed on the user's MATLABPATH. The default, automatic location for this file is in the same directory as the user's startup.m file.

midprefs is used to select or change the directory where you store
idprefs.mat. Either type midprefs, and follow the instructions, or give the directory name as the argument. Include all directory delimiters as in the PC case

```
midprefs('c:\matlab\toolbox\local\')
```

or in the UNIX case

```
midprefs('/home/ljung/matlab/')
```
