Change input structure to class

[ThFriedrich]

Changing the multem_input structure from a struct to a class object allows for validation of input parameters for type, value, and size. The class will only accept predefined properties and will throw errors when using wrong/deprecated parameters (e.g. from legacy scripts). All examples were updated accordingly.

Using

% The object is intialized by calling:
input_multem = multem_input.parameters;

% The former system_conf struct is now also a class objected, nested in the multem_input class:
input_multem.system_conf.precision = 1;                           
input_multem.system_conf.device = 2;
input_multem.system_conf.cpu_nthread = 1;
input_multem.system_conf.gpu_device = 0;
% All other assignments remain as they were

Documentation

The class implementation further provides a convenient way for minimalistic documentation of the input structure and its properties.

Nested Classes & Functions

Classes are defined also for the detector and system_conf structures. The class multem_input has a function toStruct which returns a struct-representation of the class. ilc_multem and other functions have been added to the class, so these functions can just be executed on the input object. e.g:

output_multislice = input_multem.ilc_multem;
