Scilab in 15 minutes (2/3): save and plot Step 5: Save the script by Clicking on the Save icon and name it e.g. foo.sce Step 6: Finish by running (executing) the script by a Click the Execute icon (a second one came with 5.3.2) Step 7: Up pops the Graphics Window with the a plot of the defined equation Did you have problems or get an error message on the Console? Don’t worry, we’ll return to everything later. Jump to Examples 1-1 & 1-2 if you are in a hurry.
Scilab in 15 minutes (3/3): discussion This exercise showed the essentials of Scilab in engineering applications: �� Scilab’s Scilab s user interface consists of three main windows: – The Console, Console, which pops up when Scilab is opened and on which it outputs textual data (numeric answers, error messages, etc.) – The Editor (SciNotes SciNotes), ), which is the main tool for writing, saving, and executing scripts (programs) – The Graphics Window, Window, on which Scilab presents plots �� The recipe for using Scilab is the one that Jim taught me: – First you declare the variables that are needed – Then you define the function that you want to plot – And finally, plug in the plot instruction ☺ That was Scilab Let’s go pizza
