mtlb_triu
Matlab triu emulation function
Description
Matlab and Scilab triu behave differently in some particular cases:
- With complex input: Matlab triu can be used with complex data but
not Scilab one.
- With character strings inputs: due to the fact the Matlab and Scilab
do not consider character strings in the same way, Scilab and Matlab
triu do not give the same results for this type of input.
- With boolean inputs: Matlab triu can be used with boobean data but
not Scilab one.
The function mtlb_triu(x,k) is used by mfile2sci to replace
triu(x,k) 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_triu calls:
- If X contains real double values mtlb_triu(x,k) may be replaced
by triu(x,k)
- If X contains boolean values mtlb_triu(x,k) may be replaced by
triu(bool2s(x),k)
Caution: mtlb_triu has not to be used for hand coded functions.
