Looking for a function...

[Sébastien Bihorel]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a function in Scilab that allows to display
lists in a compact way rather than a (sometime endless) listing. I did not
see any link to such function in 'help list'. For those of you who are
familiar in the R language, I am looking for something like the 'str'
function, as exemplified below:

> mylist<-list(a=list(abc=1:10,xyz=letters[1:15]),elem=matrix(1:10,ncol=2))
> mylist
$a
$a$abc
 [1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10

$a$xyz
 [1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h" "i" "j" "k" "l" "m" "n" "o"


$elem
     [,1] [,2]
[1,]    1    6
[2,]    2    7
[3,]    3    8
[4,]    4    9
[5,]    5   10

> str(mylist)
List of 2
 $ a   :List of 2
  ..$ abc: int [1:10] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
  ..$ xyz: chr [1:15] "a" "b" "c" "d" ...
 $ elem: int [1:5, 1:2] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10


Thanks

Sebastien
