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

<p>Hallo Scilab family,</p>
<p>After two decades of using Scilab I was not able to fix the
following problem.</p>
<pre style="font-family:Monospaced;font-style:normal;font-size:20.0;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">fig</span><span style="color:rgb(92,92,92);">=</span><span style="color:rgb(50,185,185);">figure</span><span style="color:rgb(74,85,219);">(</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">'</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">visible</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">'</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">,</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">'</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">off</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">'</span><span style="color:rgb(74,85,219);">)</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">;</span>

<span style="color:rgb(50,185,185);">set</span><span style="color:rgb(74,85,219);">(</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">fig</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">,</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">'</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">visible</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">'</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">,</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">'</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">on</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">'</span><span style="color:rgb(74,85,219);">)</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">;
The script does what I expect. However when uncommenting <font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">xtitle</font> the figure is blank (Version 5.5.2*). What can I do?
The background of this question is a script which creates some 10 figures which are filled with polylines in a loop. Whithout the <font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">visible</font> off/on there is a nervous flicker of graphics which I want to avoid.
But</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);"> <font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">xtitle</font></span> is a must.
*) I cannat go to Version 6 because most of my earlier scripts would not run.

Jens
