MATLAB interface class

Consider the following simple Lentil model which consists of an instrument, optical system, and detector:

import lentil

class TinyInstrument:
    def __init__(self):
        self.pupil = lentil.Pupil(amplitude=lentil.util.circle((256,256), 128),
                                  focal_length=10, pixelscale=1/256)
        self.detector = lentil.Image(pixelscale=5e-6)

    @property
    def planes(self):
        return [self.pupil, self.detector]

    def propagate(self, wave, weight, npix=1024, oversample=3, rebin=True,
                  tilt='phase', npix_chip=None):
        return lentil.propagate(self.planes, wave, weight, npix, npix_chip,
                                oversampe, rebin, tilt, flatten=True)

A corresponding MATLAB class that provides an interface to the instrument looks like this:

classdef TinyInstrument < handle

    properties(Hidden)
        cls
    end

    methods
        function self = TinyInstrument
            self.cls = py.tiny.TinyInstrument()
        end

        function img = propagate(self, wave, weight, npix, oversample, rebin, tilt, npix_chip)
            if nargin < 8; npix_chip = py.None; end
            if nargin < 7; tilt = 'phase'; end
            if nargin < 6; rebin = true; end
            if nargin < 5; oversample = 3; end
            if nargin < 4; npix = 1024; end

            img = ndarray2mat(self.cls.propagate(nparray2mat(wave), nparray2mat(weight),...
                              int(npix), int(oversample), rebin, tilt, int(npix_chip));
        end

    end
end

More recent versions of MATLAB (>= 2019b) support optional positional arguments. The propagate function can be rewritten to take advantage of this new functionality:

function img = propagate(self, wave, weight, npix, oversample, rebin, tilt, npix_chip)
    arguments
        self
        wave
        weight
        npix = 1024
        oversample = 3
        rebin = true
        tilt = 'phase'
        npix_chip = py.None
    end

    img = ndarray2mat(self.cls.propagate(nparray2mat(wave), nparray2mat(weight),...
                      int(npix), int(oversample), rebin, tilt, int(npix_chip));
end

The MATLAB interface can be easily packaged up for delivery with the Python model by including it in a to-level subdirectory:
