%SETBATCH Enables/diasables execution in batch mode of mappings
%
%    W = SETBATCH(W,FLAG,BATCHSIZE,OBJSIZE)
%    W = W*SETBATCH([],FLAG,BATCHSIZE,OBJSIZE)
%
% INPUT
%    W          Mapping
%    FLAG       Switches batch processing on (TRUE, default) or off (FALSE)
%    BATCHSIZE  Number of objects per batch (default 1000)
%    OBJSIZE    Number of objects above which batch processing is enabled
%               (default BATCHSIZE)
%
% OUTPUT
%    W          Mapping
%
%DESCRIPTION
%Mappings might be processed in batch mode in case of large datasets or
%datafiles. This may solve problems in computing A*W (A is a datase/file) 
%by executing the result in batches if intermediate memory demand is too
%high. In case the final dataset is too large this will not be of use as it
%should fit in memory anyway. 
%
%For some mappings batch processing is not possible as the processing of
%objects is not fully independent. For that reason it is skipped during
%training of mappings and classifiers.
