Dear all,<br>
<br>
When using makecell such as in<br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New">--> u = makecell([2 2], cos, 'hello',
1+%s^2, [1 2; 3 4])<br>
u = <br>
<br>
[ 1 fptr ] [1x1 string ]<br>
[1x1 polynomial] [2x2 constant]<br>
<br>
we get a cell array where the unidimensional ordering of the
cells goes first along columns and then ows. However, when
extracting components unidimensionally, it behaves the other way
around:<br>
<br>
--> u(1:4)<br>
ans =<br>
<br>
[ 1 fptr ]<br>
[1x1 polynomial]<br>
[1x1 string ]<br>
[2x2 constant ]<br>
<br>
The same happens wen applying matrix:<br>
<br>
--> matrix(u,4,1)<br>
ans =<br>
<br>
[ 1 fptr ]<br>
[1x1 polynomial]<br>
[1x1 string ]<br>
[2x2 constant ]<br>
<br>
--> matrix(u,1,4)<br>
ans =<br>
<br>
[1 fptr] [1x1 polynomial] [1x1 string] [2x2 constant]<br>
<br>
Isn't this inconsistent?<br>
Shouldn't makecell create the cell array going along rows and
then columns? <br>

You are right, Federico.<br>
We could have expected to list cells elements in linearized indices
order, as for all other native Scilab arrays.<br>
<p>This irregularity/exception is completely useless and misleading:</p>
<font size="-1"><tt>--> c = { "abcd" %T ; %pi %z}</tt><br>
<tt> c = </tt><br>
<tt> [1x1 string ] [1x1 boolean ]</tt></font><font size="-1"><tt><br>
[1x1 constant] [1x1 polynomial]</tt></font><font size="-1"><tt><br>
<br>
--> makecell([2 2], c{:}(:))</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> ans =</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> [1x1 string ] [1x1 constant ]</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> [1x1 boolean] [1x1 polynomial]</tt></font><br>
<p>The fact that it is documented does not attenuate it.<br>
<br>
Please do not hesitate to report a wish about removing this
exception.<br>
It would not be complicated to remove it, and tracking and
updating it in existing codes would be easy, through the <i>makecell</i>
keyword.<br>
