Description :

Getfem workspace management function.

Getfem uses its own workspaces in Matlab, independently of the matlab workspaces (this is due to some limitations in the memory management of matlab objects). By default, all getfem variables belong to the root getfem workspace. A function can create its own workspace by invoking gf_workspace(‘push’) at its beginning. When exiting, this function MUST invoke gf_workspace(‘pop’) (you can use matlab exceptions handling to do this cleanly when the function exits on an error).

Command list :

gf_workspace('push')

Create a new temporary workspace on the workspace stack.

gf_workspace('pop',  [,i,j, ...])

Leave the current workspace, destroying all getfem objects belonging to it, except the one listed after ‘pop’, and the ones moved to parent workspace by gf_workspace(‘keep’).

gf_workspace('stat')

Print informations about variables in current workspace.

gf_workspace('stats')

Print informations about all getfem variables.

gf_workspace('keep', i[,j,k...])

prevent the listed variables from being deleted when gf_workspace(“pop”) will be called by moving these variables in the parent workspace.

gf_workspace('keep all')

prevent all variables from being deleted when gf_workspace(“pop”) will be called by moving the variables in the parent workspace.

gf_workspace('clear')

Clear the current workspace.

gf_workspace('clear all')

Clear every workspace, and returns to the main workspace (you should not need this command).

gf_workspace('class name', i)

Return the class name of object i (if I is a mesh handle, it return gfMesh etc..)
