% CREATE_TMPFOLDER   Creation of a temporary folder in the work area.
%
%    The function creates a folder in the folder set as work area in
%    *atmlab*. See CONFIGURE for information about *atmlab*. A work area 
%    is a required setting.
%
%    The folder name is generated by matlab's tempname function and a
%    -atmlab is prepended to it.
%
%    
%
% FORMAT   tmpfolder = create_tmpfolder
%
% OUT      tmpfolder   Full path to created folder.
% ATMLAB   WORK_AREA   The work area is required as a personal setting.
%
% See also: onCleanup (e.g. c = onCleanup(@()delete(tmpfolder))

% 2011-04-04  Updated by Oliver Lemke. Use matlab's tempname to generate
%             folder name. Append -atmlab to tmpfolder name.
% 2002-12-20  Created by Patrick Eriksson, based on older version
%             in AMI (part of arts-1).
