Can my AI agent convert MATLAB Figure to IPL?
Yes. Install the Filestar CLI with npm install -g filestar and your agent can run filestarcli -i file.fig -c "convert to ipl" on your computer, so your files stay on it.
A FIG file is a figure saved from MATLAB. It stores the plot itself - axes, lines, markers, surfaces, images, text, legends and colorbars - inside a MAT-file, so MATLAB can open and edit it again.
IPL is popularly used to store 3D applications or computer games graphic texture images. It is also used as a Pantone Spot reference palette in CorelDRAW to apply colours to editable elements.
