[Scilab-users] plotplots() in Scilab

[Clément David]

Hello Samuel, hello all,

First thanks for the request for inclusion, that’s always good to have more features into Scilab itself. However, I have a few remarks regarding this function.


  1.  The function name plotplots() does not seem well known nor easy to find ; after a few research I found similar behavior for Matlab and Matplotlib worded as “zoomed” or “zoomed_inset_axes” which better represent the behavior.

  *   https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13583153/how-to-zoomed-a-portion-of-image-and-insert-in-the-same-plot-in-matplotlib
  *   https://fr.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/59857-zoomplot
  *   https://fr.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/349042-zoomed-plot-in-the-same-figure

What about using `plot_zoomed()`, `plot_inset()` or `plot_inside()` ?


  1.  I found the need to have a second axe (example 1) different to recompute ticks (example 2). I might have miss something, could you clarify these two usage ?

Thanks,

Clément

Dear all,
I would like to propose to include the plotplots() graphical function into Scilab.

For now 3 years, plotplots() is distributed alone in its own external module<https://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/plotplots>, with a fair number of downloads for a single function.

Its embedded documentation is as well provided online as PDF, in english<https://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/plotplots/2.0/files/plotplots_en_US.pdf> and in french<https://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/plotplots/2.0/files/plotplots_fr_FR.pdf>.

As soon as a function has a local singularity or/and an asymptotical behavior (that's quite common), plotplots() is very helpful to illustrate its specific behaviors without masking more "regular" features with a crushing graphical scale.

Every comment is welcome about the current plotplots status, and about the proposal to include it as a native Scilab function.

Hope reading you,

Best regards

Samuel
