mtlb_echo

Description

There is no equivalent for Matlab echo in Scilab but some cases can be replaced by calls to Scilab mode:

• echo: is equivalent to Scilab mode(abs(mode()-1)) for scripts and non-compiled functions

• echo on: is equivalent to Scilab mode(1) for scripts and non-compiled functions

• echo off: is equivalent to Scilab mode(0)

The function mtlb_echo(arg1[,arg2]) is used by mfile2sci to replace echo arg1 [arg2] 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_echo calls:

• If arg1 is equal to "on" mtlb_echo(arg1) may be replaced by mode(1)

• If arg1 is equal to "off" mtlb_echo(arg1) may be replaced by mode(0)

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