function isetPath(isetDir)
% Set Matlab directory path for ISET
%
%     isetPath(isetDir)
%
% Set up the path to the functions and data called by ISET.  Place this
% function in a location that is in the Matlab path at start-up.  When
% you wish to initialize the ISET path, or add a path for one of the
% tools boxes, call this function.
%
% Many people simply change to the ISET root directory and type
% isetPath(pwd)
%
% Another possibility is to include the ISET root directory on your
% path, and then invoke isetPath(isetRootPath).
%
% We recommend against putting the entire ISET distribution on your path,
% permanently. The reason is this:  Future distributions may change a
% directory organization. In that case, you may get path errors or other
% problems when you change distributions.
%
% Examples:
%   isetDir = 'c:\myhome\Matlab\ISET'; isetPath(isetDir);
%   cd c:\myhome\Matlab\ISET;          isetPath(pwd);
