[Scilab-users] Scilab vs matlab

[Rafael Guerra]

Hello,

Off course the price.

Fyi, Eike Rietsch, an advanced Matlab user, wrote in 2010 a quite comprehensive “Introduction to Scilab from a Matlab User's Point of View”.

He had several positive comments about Scilab including, quote:


·         … the power that typed lists and matrix-oriented typed lists offer. Operator overloading is just one example, and the flexibility offered by Scilab is unmatched by Matlab.


·         Scilab provides one way of passing parameters to a function that is not available in Matlab: named arguments”


·         Scilab is more flexible in the way functions can be defined within a script (or within another function).

Also that document does not cover the graphical aspects but it seems that Matlab is more versatile and the leader on that front.
Not sure about what is the status today nor after Scilab 6 will be deployed.

Regards,
Rafael
