[Scilab-users] ?==?utf-8?q? Plots for scientific papers

[Pierre Vuillemin]

Hi all, 

 	* the last version no longer assumes that there is a legend,
 	* I've added a doc (header) with an example that should clarify the
options. I tend to use structure for options, i.e.

opt.line_thickness = 2 

prettify(h, opt) 

 	* now, the z-axis should also be modified.

Regards, 

Pierre 

nb: again, the last version is on my github [1].
