mtlb_box — Matlab box emulation function
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.
