   Hi.

   Great toolbox! But, have you considered putting k-Wave in a Matlab package, that is, organizing it in a '+'-folder? One small annoyance while using k-Wave, and frankly most Matlab code, is namespace clashes.

   I have a number of functions called 'smooth.m' or 'gaussian.m' and so on, and need to care that one does not shadow another at various times. It would be very convenient if i could write

   >> mat_sm = kwave.smooth(kgrid, mat);

   or

   >> import kwave.*
>> mat_sm = smooth(kgrid, mat);

   I believe that using packages is something that Mathworks is trying to encourage, as well.

   Hi DNF,

   It is a sensible suggestion, and would avoid the namespace issues. On the downside it would require us renaming all the function calls within the toolbox to include the package name (or adding an import call to the top of every function), and would break backwards compatibility with existing user scripts. I'll give it some thought going forwards.

   Brad.
