[Scilab-users] Functions lib

[Clément David]

Hello Gerhard,

Great question ! Use the toolbox_skeleton [1] and create you own Scilab toolbox to easily re-use you
own function set. It might be automatically loaded at Scilab startup and used by your scripts.

First, simply create a directory "myToolbox" and a sub-directory "macros". Put all your Scilab
function (aka macros) in this sub-directory.

Second, copy the builder.sce and macros/buildmacros.sce (from the skeleton) into your directories to
"build" the library. Change the TOOLBOX_NAME and TOOLBOX_TITLE on builder.sce to reflect your
toolbox name ("myToolbox" in this example). Still on builder.sce, remove all the non-macros builds
(no C / C++ / help).

Third, copy and rename etc/toolbox_skeleton.start and etc/toolbox_skeleton.quit into directory etc/
in your toolbox to "load" the library. In your "myToolbox" example, rename them to
etc/myToolbox.start and etc/myToolbox.quit. Edit the myToolbox.start file to only load the Scilab
function (no C / C++ / help / preferences). Still on myToolbox.start, change the library name
"toolbox_skeletonlib" to "myToolboxlib".

And that's it ! `exec builder.sce` to build the toolbox and `exec loader.sce` to load it. To load it
at Scilab startup, use `atomsInstall` with the directory argument.

For in depth, understanding browse the wiki or any existing toolbox on ATOMS.

Thanks,
