This page describes the convention for the PyWPS plugin to find and expose matlab processes.

Example

oil_spill.m
function [data] = oil_spill(track, volume)
% OIL_SPILL generate a dataset of an oil spill based on a track and total volume
%
% This is also part of the abstract
%
% input:
% track = linestring
% volume = double
%
% output:
% data = file.nc
%

Finding processes

Matlab functions can be exposed as WPS processes. The processes are found by putting matlab scripts in the directory that is exposed by the environment variable MATLAB_PROCESSES (analogue to PYWPS_PROCESSES). Matlab processes have the form of a matlab function, stored within a file with the name function.m.

WPS properties
