[Scilab-users] xtitle hides figure cintent

[Federico Miyara]

Jens,

I've tried this in Scilab 6.1 and it works fine.

I understand the problem of backwards compatibility. I really do, since 
I had about 1000 Matlab fully working scripts and functions when I 
decided to migrate to Scilab. Most of them need much more than cosmetic 
changes like // for %. But it was worth the effort. The successive 
changes from 5.5.2 through 6.1 were much smoother than changing  
application altoghether

In your case, unless you don't plan ever to benefit from improvements of 
new Scilab versions (including knonw bugs which no one will fix for 
earlier versions), you should try 6.1. There is no problem to keep 5.5.2 
installed and start working in 6.1. If you need to run an older script 
and don't want to update it, you just open it in 5.5.2.

Regards,

Federico
