Call Matlab distance metrics with function

Hi,

I'm writing a function in which I call the built in Matlab function 'pdist'. Can I somehow have the user specify which distance to use in my function?

Something like the following:

function out = my_function(input_1, input_2, 'euclidian')

...

out = pdist(X, 'euclidian')

function out = my_function(input_1, input_2, typeOfNorm)
...
out = pdist(X, typeOfNorm);

Now call your function like:

out = my_function(data1, data2, 'euclidian')
