[Scilab-users] Atoms Modules

[Claus Futtrup]

Hi there

I am personally not the most vivid user of the IPCV, but I can see among 
my scripts that I was playing around with it in October 2018. I have 
used IPCV to manipulate a piece of graphics that I made, and in a 
programmatic way (something totally impractical in any other way). The 
results: https://www.cfuttrup.com/blogspot.html#think_global

I think the IPCV belongs in the toolbox for Scilab.

When it comes to ATOMS, I think the concept is fundamentally good. I am 
not qualified to give feedback to any of the specifics within ATOMS as I 
found it very difficult to read up on how to create an ATOMS module, so 
what I say is that as a tool for community driven development, it needs 
a lot better support.

With kind regards,
Claus
