====== Workdir Type ======

A Workdir value represents the active working directory that relative filenames are resolved against. It's produced only by the [[Workdir]] container functor, from the [[Folder Type|Folder]] path given to its own ''folder'' input, and exposed as that container's ''workdir'' internal output. Functors placed inside a Workdir — [[Load Map]], [[Load Categorical Map]], [[Load Table]], [[Load Lookup Table]], [[Load Weights]], [[Save Map]], [[Save Categorical Map]], [[Save Table]], [[Save Lookup Table]], and [[Save Weights]] — each have their own ''workdir'' input auto-bound to it, so the filename they're given is resolved relative to that folder instead of the model script's own location.

===== GUI Editor =====

Workdir Type has no editor. It can only be produced by an enclosing [[Workdir]] container and consumed by auto-binding into a functor's own ''workdir'' input — never typed in directly.

===== EGO Script =====

For the same reason, Workdir Type has no literal constant syntax in [[EGO Script]] — see [[ego_script#constants|Constants]]. The [[Workdir]] container itself has no output, so it appears as a bare statement rather than an assignment. A functor placed inside it has its filename resolved relative to the folder given to the container, without needing to reference the workdir explicitly:

<code>
Workdir "c:/data/landscape.zip" {{
    // "landscape.tif" is resolved relative to "c:/data/landscape.zip".
    landscape := LoadCategoricalMap { filename = "landscape.tif" };
}};
</code>

===== Automatic Conversions =====

None — Workdir Type converts to or from no other type.

See [[type_system|Type System]] for the complete conversion reference across all types.
