I miss a color sample in the "color_list" manual page -- so here I send you a modified color list. Maybe it can be included into the Scilab documentation. The color names were extracted from the v5.1.1 manual, then sorted with a "natural sorting algorithm" and used to create a table with hex codes (upper and lower case), decimal codes and a color sample.

Some comments. ======== In "How to use Browsevar" I think having an icon of a spreadsheet for this would be nice. I also wonder if Browsevar should not be started with Scilab (especially with a potential workspace system). ======== Page 4: => Export variable Should be renamed to "=> Export variable to..." since we will have different formats. ===== There are some bugs about local and global variables, => It would be nice to have the reference to the bugs. ===== Note: The default type for a new variable is double with the value 0. You should add "and of size [1,1]" ===== * Variable exportation: We could also export as LaTeX or MathML through the function prettyprint and also to HDF5. Both would be trivial operations since these operations are already available in Scilab. ===== masked: which contains a calculable expression in Scilab How are you planning to do that ? (if you restart Scilab, you will lose this information) Idem for References between cells: ==== By the way, nice work ;) Sylvestre -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In fact, these axes should be within the z=0 plane, which is not the case : plot3d; a=gca(); a.x_location="origin"; a.y_location="origin"; After these commands, the axes are located in the plane z=1 ! You can even try it on a 2d plot which is later rotated : plot((-1:0.1:1),(-1:0.1:1)) a=gca(); a.x_location="origin"; a.y_location="origin"; If this problem can be fixed (I think so), then the absence of a "z_location " axes property will be raised. This z_location property should be able to take the values "left", "right","middle" and "origin". S.

For one, the actual Scilab interface wasn't done when I last looked at it. It seems some work has been done more recently. Other than that, there are plenty more matrix functions that could be added, and some other things fixed. The number of multiple precision functions offered is currently a relatively small fraction of the ones offered in Scilab using double. There also isn't any plotting of the mpfr results, and probably some other major things. You can ask me more questions if you want. - Matt Arsenault From sylvestre.ledru at scilab.org Mon Feb 22 15:01:31 2010 From: sylvestre.ledru at scilab.org (Sylvestre Ledru) Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 15:01:31 +0100 Subject: [Scilab-Dev] GSoC 2010 In-Reply-To: <2b2ecc681002220156j452ea46h6791b2824d7f3180@mail.gmail.com> References: <2b2ecc681002190416j5ae37d2fo713fc3c01072d3@mail.gmail.com> <1266583060.13169.4739.camel@korcula.inria.fr> <2b2ecc681002190518wc64c161teb59e84839acd7de@mail.gmail.com> <1266585772.13169.4879.camel@korcula.inria.fr> <2b2ecc681002190526m5ff1f185jd70f4ec5b0c2b36c@mail.gmail.com> <1266600229.2356.1.camel@stacy> <2b2ecc681002220156j452ea46h6791b2824d7f3180@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <1266847291.13169.18456.camel@korcula.inria.fr> Le lundi 22 f?vrier 2010 ? 15:26 +0530, shankhs ch a ?crit : > Hi > I am really interested in getting a project in Scilab for GSoC this > year and I am finding it very hard to find a perfect project because > every project seems challenging and interesting ( confused huh! )!

If you do a global check of Matt's works with the limitations of his work and provides a good proposal explaining what you are going to do and what you are trying to achieve, you can pick up this one. We select projects on some criteria: * the quality of the proposal * the interest of the project for the Scilab's ecosystem (I am going to update the wiki page to provide some information on this) * the chance that the developer can finish the work Sylvestre From sylvestre.ledru at scilab.org Wed Feb 24 17:33:33 2010 From: sylvestre.ledru at scilab.org (Sylvestre Ledru) Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:33:33 +0100 Subject: [Scilab-Dev] GSoC 2010 In-Reply-To: <1266847291.13169.18456.camel@korcula.inria.fr> References: <2b2ecc681002190416j5ae37d2fo713fc3c01072d3@mail.gmail.com> <1266583060.13169.4739.camel@korcula.inria.fr> <2b2ecc681002190518wc64c161teb59e84839acd7de@mail.gmail.com> <1266585772.13169.4879.camel@korcula.inria.fr> <2b2ecc681002190526m5ff1f185jd70f4ec5b0c2b36c@mail.gmail.com> <1266600229.2356.1.camel@stacy> <2b2ecc681002220156j452ea46h6791b2824d7f3180@mail.gmail.com> <1266847291.13169.18456.camel@korcula.inria.fr> Message-ID: <1267029213.17856.1409.camel@zlarin> Le lundi 22 f?vrier 2010 ? 15:01 +0100, Sylvestre Ledru a ?crit : > Le lundi 22 f?vrier 2010 ? 15:26 +0530, shankhs ch a ?crit : > > Hi > > I am really interested in getting a project in Scilab for GSoC this > > year and I am finding it very hard to find a perfect project because > > every project seems challenging and interesting ( confused huh! )!

Now, to build / run Scilab, you will need to have a JVM compatible with version 1.6. This has many advantages: * Some high level components for user interface which were not available with Java 1.5 * Overall performances improvements * Many bug fixes in the recent releases of the JVM * A supported JVM (the support of Java 1.5 has been stopped by Oracle/Sun in last october) * The 1.5 Sun family has not free implementation. The main drawback is for user Mac OS X users. Apple is managing itself the integration of the JVM/JDK into Mac OS X. For version 1.6, they dropped the support of 32 bits of Java and the free implementation (OpenJDK) needs a X server to run (at least, AFAIK). Therefor, Scilab will only be available as 64 bits distributions. This should have a null (or tiny impact) since almost all 10.5 versions are 64 bit ready (and all 10.6). However, if you are building Scilab yourself under Mac OS X, please note that you will need all native dependencies to be compile 64 bit. I updated the dedicated page in the Wiki: http://wiki.scilab.org/Compiling_Scilab_5.x_under_MacOSX Don't hesitate if you have any question, Sylvestre [1] http://java.sun.com/products/archive/eol.policy.html
