[Scilab-Dev] [SEP] Function for implicit plotting

Hello Pierre-Aimé,

Yes, this feature would be great! Why creating a new function instead of 
implementing the new feature inside the existing plot()?
Inserting a function or a string as argin#1 would be new, with no 
ambiguity and back-compatibility issue when parsing the arguments list.
If sticking to a new function, IMO, for completion reason, 
plotimplicit() would be better to implicitplot().

About options: no idea of specific additional ones. It is just a pity 
that plot() does not support logarithmic flags as plot2d() does.

Best regards
Samuel
