Organization

Functions

• ‘Clean code’ * has help file — lists all inputs and outputs with descriptors
• functions have small number of mandatory inputs (typically 1-4)
• additional inputs are passed as ‘Flag’,value pairs.  (see examples)
• long code is written in demarcated code blocks * As general a structure as possible
• (shouldn’t be hard-coded based on the unique configuration of a single microscope setup)
  • computer independent (no hard coded directories)
• Folder is organized into subfolders by function

GUIs

• ready to launch and run
• ‘Clean code’ (see above)
• computer independent – no hard-coded paths.
• multi-platform ready — use system() commands instead of dos, use filesep instead of / ,

Beta

• GUIs and Functions that do not meet above criteria for clean/independent
• May be nearly finalized code that just needs help-file polished
• May be completely experimental or in development
• Organized into subfolders with readme describing function/GUI Goals as well as progress
