[Scilab-users] How to overload "double" function ?

Thanks Samuel! In fact, I've already overloaded iconvert but I did not
remembered it! Since the error message refers to "double" it is not easy
to remember the correct way for overloading.

 That's the problem : it was true in scilab-5  but iconvert seems no
longer overload double in scilab-6. See below :


--> function y=%p_iconvert(x,itype)
  >     y="OK"
  >  endfunction

-->  X=poly(0,"x")
 X  =


   x


-->  double(X)

double : Types erronés des arguments d'entrée : entiers, booléens ou
réels attendus.

-->  iconvert(X,0)
 ans  =

 OK


Sincerely yours,
Philippe
