[Scilab-Dev] Scilab/SCIAO

[Luis Acevedo]

Hello Sylvestre
As I said to Samuel ,

  Yes I have thought the same than you.
  It is important to have an optical module in Scilab , optics are becoming
very important nowadays.

 I see that you know SCIAO and If it can be implemented with more functions
using Xcos.
 With your advice MSDOS will handle the new versions of Scilab, also as you
said would be good if some people can revisit the SCIAO module upgrade it
with new 
Optical physics as diffraction and so on.
 
Well as soon as submit  the phD thesis in optics I will work in SCIAO and
implement . I will make a call asking for helpers.

Thanks a lot, Regards

Luis

Maybe we could great a project on the forge and import the beginning of the
work that you have done ?

Thanks,
