function ft_defaults
% FT_DEFAULTS (ending with "s") sets some general settings in the global variable
% ft_default (without the "s") and takes care of the required path settings. You can
% call this function in your startup.m script. This function is also called at the
% begin of all FieldTrip functions.
%
% The global configuration defaults are stored in the global "ft_default" structure.
% The ft_checkconfig function that is called by many FieldTrip functions will merge
% these global configuration defaults with the cfg ctructure that you pass to
% the FieldTrip function that you are calling.
%
% The global options and their default values are
% ft_default.checkconfig = string, can be 'pedantic', 'loose', 'silent' (default = 'loose')
% ft_default.checkpath = string, can be 'pedantic', 'once', 'no' (default = 'pedantic')
% ft_default.checksize = number in bytes, can be inf (default = 1e5)
% ft_default.checkstring = string, can be 'yes' or 'no' (default = 'yes'), convert "strings" in cfg to 'chars'
% ft_default.showlogo = string, can be 'yes' or 'no' (default = 'yes')
% ft_default.showcallinfo = string, can be 'yes' or 'no' (default = 'yes')
% ft_default.trackcallinfo = string, can be 'yes' or 'no' (default = 'yes')
% ft_default.trackusage = false, or string with salt for one-way encryption of identifying information (by default this is enabled and an automatic salt is created)
% ft_default.trackdatainfo = string, can be 'yes' or 'no' (default = 'no')
% ft_default.keepprevious = string, can be 'yes' or 'no' (default = 'yes')
% ft_default.outputfilepresent = string, can be 'keep', 'overwrite', 'error' (default = 'overwrite')
% ft_default.debug = string, can be 'display', 'displayonerror', 'displayonsuccess', 'save', 'saveonerror', saveonsuccess' or 'no' (default = 'no')
% ft_default.toolbox.signal = string, can be 'compat' or 'matlab' (default is automatic, see below)
% ft_default.toolbox.stats = string, can be 'compat' or 'matlab' (default is automatic, see below)
% ft_default.toolbox.images = string, can be 'compat' or 'matlab' (default is automatic, see below)
% ft_default.reproducescript = string, directory to which the script and intermediate data are written (default = [])
%
% If you want to overrule these default settings, you can add something like this in your startup.m script
% ft_defaults
% global ft_default
% ft_default.option1 = value1
% ft_default.option2 = value2
%
% The toolbox option for signal, stats and images allows you to specify whether you
% want to use the original version from MathWorks or a compatible drop-in to be used.
% When you use the Radboud University license server, i.e. at the Donders, the
% default is 'compat'. This has the advantage that you do not need a license for
% these toolboxes; we do not have that many licenses and parallel computations on our
% Donders compute cluster would otherwise use all licenses. In all other cases, the
% default is 'matlab' when the toolbox is available, and 'compat' when it is not
% available.
