mtlb_linspace

Description

Matlab and Scilab linspace behave differently in some particular cases:

• With character string inputs: Matlab linspace(A,B[,n]) returns a character string vector if A and/or B are character strings, but Scilab function does not work with such inputs.

The function mtlb_linspace(A,B[,n]) is used by mfile2sci to replace linspace(A,B[,n]) 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_linspace calls:

• If A and B are not character strings mtlb_linspace(A,B[,n]) may be replaced by linspace(A,B[,n])

• If A or B are character strings mtlb_linspace(A,B[,n]) may be replaced by ascii(linspace(ascii(A),ascii(B)[,n]))

Caution: mtlb_linspace has not to be used for hand coded functions.
