[Scilab-users] GUI programming

[farimani]

Hello everyone,

First of all Thanks to  Nikolay Strelkov
<http://mailinglists.scilab.org/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=user_nodes&user=496942>  
for pointing me to this thread from  this post
<http://mailinglists.scilab.org/Scilab-users-A-collection-of-Scilab-GUI-tutorials-tp4039316.html>  
I left earlier. Basically I'm trying to collect some of the available Scilab
GUI tutorials here plus proper explanation for the novice users like myself:

https://github.com/Foadsf/ScilabGUItuts

I went through almost all details in this page and here is what I have done:

 - contacted openeering and  Manolo Venturin
<https://www.linkedin.com/in/manolo-venturin-85933745/?locale=en_US>   for
their permission to include their tutorial  here
<https://github.com/Foadsf/ScilabGUItuts/tree/master/Examples/Ex013>   in
the repository. 

 - included the codes from cgit.scilab.org yet to be tested and documented

 - contacted Varodom Toochinda for  this tutorials
<https://scilabdotninja.wordpress.com/scilab-recipe-4-gui-basics/>    which
are unfortunately no longer available

 - contacted tritytech and Chin Luh Tan

 - in reply to

I have asked for  this feature request
<https://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16023>   to add more
callback-type s, and implemented similar idea  here in this example
<https://github.com/Foadsf/ScilabGUItuts/tree/master/Examples/Ex008>  . 


Hopefully this will receive some support from the community.

Best regards,
Foad
