mode

select a mode in an exec-file

Calling Sequence

mode(k)
k = mode()

Description

Used exclusively inside an exec-file or a Scilab function mode(k) allows to change the information displayed during the execution, depending on the value of k:

k = 0

The new variable values are displayed if required (see help on semicolon or comma).

k = -1

The exec-file or Scilab function executes silently (this is the default value for Scilab functions).

k = 2

It is the default value on Scilab prompt.

Please notices that mode(2) does not used at prompt, only in an exec-file or a Scilab function.

k = 1 or k = 3

Each line of instructions is echoed preceded of the prompt (if possible). The new variable values are displayed if required. This is the default for exec-files.

k = 4 or k = 7

The new variable values are displayed if required, each line of instructions is echoed (if possible) and a prompt (>>) is issued after each line waiting for a carriage return.

If the carriage return follows character "p" the execution is paused (see pause).

k > 7

User mode. If you define your own mode, it is recommended to use a value > 100.

Line display is disabled for compiled Scilab function (see comp). By default, Scilab functions are executed using the silent ("-1") mode.

Functions in a function library are executed using "-1" mode.

Examples

// copy - paste in Scilab

function example_mode(level_mode)
 mode(level_mode)
 a = 3
 disp(mode());
endfunction

mode(2)

example_mode(0)
example_mode(-1)
example_mode(2)
example_mode(1)
example_mode(3)
example_mode(7)

mode(2)
