[Scilab-Dev] A sum-up of my test on the demonstration script

Bonjour,

This an interesting solution.

Under Scilab 4.x there are exactly the same phases but they are much faster. Java is a bit slow on window creation.
We will take care of your suggestion: on "slow" machine is not pretty at all...

I need to modify some Scicos code that still have some (now) obsolete "OS specific" geometric correction.

I'm also updating and testing ALL the Scicos demos with the latest mods that we made for Scilab 5;
I will add new Scicos demos at the list soon.

This is a know "xclick()" bug that we are fixing. 

Thanks for your suggestions.

P.S. May you be so kind to describe your hardware/software set up ?
