[scilab-Users] two questions : batch mode parameters and creating a menu to execute again a script or exit

[Loïc GIROD]

Dear all, 

I succeeded to create a x_choose menu with two possibilities : 
- quit scilab = it works well
- execute the script again = not working

With my very basic programming skills, I have tried to use a "goto - from" instruction (I've read on many forums that this seems to be a very bad thing...) but I get an error 34.

To put it in a nutshell, here is a sample of the script in this part : 
___________
from test;
choix=x_choose([Draw a new curve';'Quit'],['Please choose an item'])

if choix==1 then GOTO test;
    else quit
end
___________

Second question regarding this dialog box, I would like it to appear only in "second plane". Indeed, my script draws a curve and just after, the dialog box appears and I can't anymore interact with the graph. How can I do that ?

Many thanks for your help.

Best regards 


Loïc

Dear Sylvestre, 

Many thanks for the help for the first point, it's good.
But for the second... I have thought about a "goto" function but not sure it's a good idea... Sorry but I get lost

See:

You can manage that with some Scilab codes...
