[Scilab-users] Toolboxes startup

[Clément David]

It is not documented but there is some reference to it on atomsLoad and etc/Scilab.start . IMHO we can make it widely available and document it for this usage.

Is %toolboxes already used ? If so where is it documented ?

Hi all,

Thanks for the proposal Stephane, this is a good idea!

As a reminder, currently each toolbox is free to display anything at startup and the toolbox skeleton provides a default “Start ” + TOOLBOX_NAME then display information that ease development (gateways, help and so on). Migrating to another display is only a matter of convention, for example by checking if the global %toolboxes variable is available than do not display anything.

Hi all,

I just made available for macOS and Linux the toolboxes stixbox depends upon for macOS (distfun and linalg) and my remark is that when a lot of modules are loaded at startup then the output can become very long and sometimes messy, since we don't impose a normalized output:

Scilab branch-6.1 (Apr 19 2021, 23:19:29)

Start Distfun

Start Helptbx

Start Specfun

Start Makematrix

Start Apifun
    Load macros
    Type "help apifun_overview" for a quick start.

Start Linalg

Start Stixbox

I would rather expect something like:



Scilab branch-6.1 (Apr 19 2021, 23:19:29)

Start modules: Distfun, Helptbx, Specfun, Makematrix, Apifun, Linalg, Stixbox.

-->

The verbosity level of the output (with the above default)  could be defined in user preferences, and checked in module startup script in order to output the required amount of information.

That's just a propostion to be discussed, of course.

S.
