Ok there is several possibility.
Option1a: You want your function foo to be used ONLY by the functions of your project1, then you can make it private function. By creating a folder named private, all the function inside that folder can only be called by the function in that folder and the parent one. Plus if yoyur current folder is the private one, you can call the function. TYhe private folder cannot be added to the MATLAB path.
Option1b: Same thing as option1 but either you have MATLAB R2019a or you are in a simulink projet. By creating a project you will be able to have a specific path for that project. This path will be added whenever you open the project and remove when you close the project.
Option2a: You really want to use the function foo define two different folder depending on the case. Then you can create class. Because the methods have higher proprity than fucntion, if you have two class name CLASS1 and CLASS2 and both of them have a method plot, then plot(obj) will call the method plot of CLASS1 if obj is an instance of CLASS1
So if you have
classdef CLASS1
methods(public)
function obj = CLASS1()
...
end
function plot(obj)
figure
title('This is CLASS1')
end
end
end
and
classdef CLASS2
methods(public)
function obj = CLASS2()
...
end
function plot(obj)
figure
title('This is CLASS2')
end
end
end
then this scriopt will dowhat it is supposed to do
obj1=CLASS1();
obj2=CLASS2();
plot(obj1)
plot(obj2)
Option2b: yiou can create package so if you define a function foo in folder named +package1 and +package2 and these folder are in the MATLAB path, this is how you can use specific location function
package1.foo(var)
package2.foo(var)
