function [pipeline] = ft_analysispipeline(cfg, data)

% FT_ANALYSIPIPELINE reconstructs the complete analysis pipeline that was used to create
% the input FieldTrip data structure. The pipeline will be visualized as a flowchart.
% In the future it will be possible to output the complete pipeline as a MATLAB script
% or in a specialized pipeline format (e.g. PSOM, JIST, LONI, Taverna).
%
% Use as
%   output = ft_analysispipeline(cfg, data)
%
% The first cfg input contains the settings that apply to the behavior of this
% particular function and the second data input argument can be the output of any
% FieldTrip function, e.g. FT_PREPROCESSING, FT_TIMELOCKANALYSIS, FT_SOURCEANALYSIS,
% FT_FREQSTATISTICS or whatever you like.
%
% Alternatively, for the second input argument you can also only give the configuration
% of the processed data (i.e. "data.cfg") instead of the full data.
%
% The configuration options that apply to the behavior of this function are
%   cfg.filename    = string, filename without the extension
%   cfg.filetype    = string, can be 'matlab', 'html' or 'dot'
%   cfg.feedback    = string, 'no', 'text', 'gui' or 'yes', whether text and/or
%                     graphical feedback should be presented (default = 'yes')
%   cfg.showinfo    = string or cell-array of strings, information to display
%                     in the gui boxes, can be any combination of
%                     'functionname', 'revision', 'matlabversion',
%                     'computername', 'username', 'calltime', 'timeused',
%                     'memused', 'workingdir', 'scriptpath' (default =
%                     'functionname', only display function name). Can also
%                     be 'all', show all pipeline. Please note that if you want
%                     to show a lot of information, this will require a lot
%                     of screen real estate.
%   cfg.remove      = cell-array with strings, determines which objects will
%                     be removed from the configuration prior to writing it to
%                     file. For readibility of the script, you may want to
%                     remove the large objectssuch as event structure, trial
%                     definition, source positions
%   cfg.keepremoved = 'yes' or 'no', determines whether removed fields are
%                     completely removed, or only replaced by a short textual
%                     description (default = 'no')
%
% This function uses the nested cfg and cfg.previous that are present in
% the data structure. It will use the configuration and the nested previous
% configurations to climb all the way back into the tree. This funtction
% will print a complete MATLAB script to screen (and optionally to file).
% Furthermore, it will show an interactive graphical flowchart
% representation of the steps taken during the pipeline(i). In the flowchart
% you can click on one of the steps to see the configuration details of
% that pipeline(i).
%
% Example use:
%   data     = ft_timelocksimulation([]);
%   data_bl  = ft_timelockbaseline([], data);
%   data_avg = ft_timelockanalysis([], data_bl);
%   ft_analysispipeline([], data_avg)
%
% Note that the nested cfg and cfg.previous in your data might not contain
% all details that are required to reconstruct a complete and valid
% analysis script.
%
% To facilitate data-handling and distributed computing you can use
%   cfg.inputfile   =  ...
% If you specify this, the input data will be read from a *.mat file on disk. The
% file should contain only a single variable, corresponding with the input structure.
