AW: [Scilab-Dev] XCOS: custom menu entries

[Cercueil.Paul]

Hello,

The final goal is to port the Scicos plugin of Gene-Auto to XCOS.
Gene-Auto is an alternative code generator, that produces C code more suitable for embedded hardware.
The old Scicos plugin provided a "GeneAuto" entry on the "Tools" menu of Scicos, which was starting the code generation when activated.

I somewhat found a workaround for this; I redefined the xcosCodeGeneration Scilab function, so that Gene-Auto will be called instead of Scilab's code generator when the user click on "Code generation".
I would nonetheless highly prefer to have a separate menu, so that I don't have to mask existing features to implement mines.

Regards,

Hello,

Paul you are right, Xcos GUI is a full java implementation. Currently
the only way to for a user to customize a diagram is to put a custom
block with a Scilab gui (uicontrols) on the 'set' action.

Can you describe your specific use-case please ? It will help us
determine the need of such an heavy customize requirement.

Regards,

Clément
