Click the little downward pointing triangle in the title bar, just below the white x in the red box. The editor provides a fast access to the inline help. The graphics in Scilab version 5 has been updated so that many components are now based on Java. This has a number of advantages, including the possibility to manage docking windows.

The docking system uses Flexdock [12], an open-source project providing a Swing docking framework. It might be annoying to manage two windows, because one may hide the other, so that we constantly have to move them around in order to actually see what happens.

Figure 8: The title bar in the source window. In order to dock the editor into the console, drag and drop the title bar of the editor into the console.

All Scilab windows are dockable, including the console, the editor, the variable browser, the command history, the help and the plotting windows. In order to dock one window into another window, we must drag and drop the source window into the target window. Before releasing the click, let us move the mouse over the target window and notice that a window, surrounded by dotted lines is displayed.

We can choose this location, which can be on the top, the bottom, the left or the right of the target window. Figure 9: Actions in the title bar of the docking window. The round arrow in the title bar of the window undocks the window. The cross closes the window.

Scilab provides a variable browser, which displays the list of variables currently used in the environment. Figure 11 presents the state of this browser during a session. We can then interactively change the value of a variable by changing its content in a cell. On the other hand, if we change the variable content within the console, we must refresh the content of the dialog box by pushing the refresh button in the toolbar of the Variable Editor.

The Command History dialog allows browsing through the commands that we have previously executed. We can select any command in the list and double-click on it to execute it in the console. The right-click opens a context menu which lets us evaluate the command or edit it in the editor. Executing a. In practical situations, such as debugging a complicated algorithm, the interactive mode is used most of the time with a sequence of calls to the exec and disp functions.

Another way of using Scilab is from the command line. Whatever the operating system is, binaries are located in the directory scilab The -nw option disables the display of the console. The -nwni option launches the nongraphics mode: in this mode, the console is not displayed and plotting functions are disabled using them will generate an error. This executable corresponds to the icon which is available on the desktop after the installation of Scilab.

The second executable is Scilex. With the Scilex. The Scilex. By default, the graphics mode is launched. The scilab script is sensitive to the -nw and -nwni options. There are two extra executables on Linux: scilab-cli and scilab-adv-cli. The scilab-adv-cli executable is equivalent to the -nw option, while the scilab-cli is equivalent to the -nwni option[7]. In the following Windows session, we launch the Scilex.

Then we run the plot function in order to check that this function is not available in the non-graphics mode. The default behavior of Scilab is to wait for new user input: this is why the quit command is used, so that the session terminates.

The following session, executed from the MS Windows terminal, shows how to use the -f option to execute the previous script. Notice that we used the absolute path of the Scilex. To exit, we interactively type the quit statement in the terminal.
