[Scilab-users] Scilab figure operations and console program flow

[Serge Steer]

You are right, the input function is blocks Scilab waiting for  the 
response, a workaround is to use a menu instead of input.
Note that the datatip toggle menu still exists in the graphic window 
menu bar as well as in the toolbar
