Description

Scinotes is an embedded Scilab text editor.

It can be started with a fresh text buffer pressing the "Editor" button on top of the main Scilab window, or from Scilab command line with the instruction editor(), or it can open specific files if invoked with any of the syntaxes above (without any parameters, it opens editor with a blank file).

The same invocation adds further files to an already opened Editor.

With the option 'readonly', files are opened in read-only mode so they cannot be modified.

With the options 'indent', 'quote' or 'trailing', the editor will not be opened and the file(s) will be treated consequently to the actions. The actions are the following:

  • The action 'indent' will indent correctly the file.

  • The action 'trailing' will remove the trailing white spaces.

  • The action 'quote' will replace all simple quoted strings by double quoted ones.

One or several actions can be used at the same time, e.g. 'trailing' or ['indent','quote'].

Keyboard shortcuts are defined for most possible editing actions and reported by the menu entries.

Scinotes can be started in the following ways :

  • By the menu Applications. Choose Applications => Editor

  • From the command line:

    • scinotes()

    • scinotes(file)

    • scinotes([file1, file2])

    • scinotes(file, line_number)

    • scinotes([file1, file2], [line_number1, line_number2])
