Manual setup of working directories:

You can setup working directories manual (instead of run 'ui\setupWorkDirs.m'). You must file 'EBSDAM_settings.m' in EBSDAM root directory and set some preferences. After run create_test_sample.

Example of 'EBSDAM_settings.m':

setpref('ebsdam','data_dir','~/Work/EBSD/data');    
setpref('ebsdam','output_dir','~/Work/EBSD/out');    
setpref('ebsdam','cache_dir','~/Work/EBSD/cache');    
setpref('ebsdam','doc_dir','~/Work/EBSD/doc');    

setpref('ebsdam','caching', 1);
setpref('ebsdam','saveResult', 1);
setpref('ebsdam','maxProbParents', 2000);

Description:
'data_dir' - directory with EBSD data file for samples (see 'Load data' page)
'output_dir' - directory for output information: reports, figures
'cache_dir' - directory for cache file of EBSD data (see 'Caching' page)
'doc_dir' - directory for documents (not used now)

'caching' - turn on/off caching (see 'Caching' page)
'saveResult' - save results (outputs) to disk (see 'Save result' page)
'maxProbParents' - limit the number of probable parents in findParent (depend on system memory)
