General callback for events on figures

[Samuel Gougeon]

Hello,

Listing the properties of a figure with a recent Scilab release
(2012-07-20), one can see that after the recently introduced
resizefcn = ""
property as a callback called when the window is resized, another new one
closerequestfcn = ""
is now also listed.

So, i am wondering about the fact that each action on the window
should create a specific property, or not. Let's say that tomorrow
a user claims for a callback to be used when the window is iconified,
or when it is maximized, etc. Would we create other specific attributes
iconifyfcn  = ""
maximizefcn = ""
etc..

What about rather introducing a single callback with a list of predefined
1st argument = name of the triggering action : "resize" "iconify" 
"close" etc
that would be called each time that one of these events will occur?

Wouldn't it be a more general and more open solution?

Hoping to read other contributions

Best regards
Samuel Gougeon
