Requirements

The plugin must be able to handle command line launch mode. See this section

Handle options in your code

function main(varargin)
% init function will give you back a struct filled with all you need:
args = anywave('init', varargin);
% test if command line option are set (if not we are running in normal GUI mode)
eeg_file = '';
if isfield(args, 'eeg_file') 
   % we are running in command line mode/bids pipeline
   eeg_file = args.eeg_file;
else
   % raise error
   error('need eeg_file parameter/option');
end
end

Avoid figure and GUIs

If you want the plugin to be run as a BIDS pipeline you must not stop the execution by using blocking dialog boxes.

Tips about logging errors

The command line option output_dir will always be set by AnyWave either by the pipeline itself or by default.
Write a log.txt file for example in that location and report all logs for your plugin in that file.

Call your plugin using the command line

If you want to run your plugin outside of BIDS Pipeline context:

anywave --run my_plugin --eeg_file <path to eeg> --meg_file <path to meg>
