mtlb_box
Matlab box emulation function
Description
There is no Scilab equivalent function for Matlab box but it can be
easyly replaced.
The function mtlb_box([axes_handle[,val]]) is used by mfile2sci to
replace box([axes_handle[,va]]l) when it was not possible to know
what were the inputs while porting Matlab code to Scilab. This
function will determine the correct semantic at run time. If you want
to have a more efficient code it is possible to replace mtlb_box
calls:
- When called without input parameters, mtlb_box() may be replaced
by a=gca();if a.box==”on” then a.box=”off”;else a.box=”on”;end;
- If axes_handle is a character string, mtlb_box(axes_handle) may
be replaced by a=gca();a.box=convstr(axes_handle,”l”);
- If axes_handle is a graphic handle mtlb_box(axes_handle) may be
replaced by if axes_handle.box==”on” then axes_handle.box=”off”;else
axes_handle.box=”on”;end;
- If axes_handle is a graphic handle and val is a character string
mtlb_box(axes_handle,val) may be replaced by
axes_handle.box=convstr(val,”l”);
Caution: mtlb_box has not to be used for hand coded functions.
