api_scilab

api_scilab is the Scilab interface to read/write data from/to Scilab memory

Description

Since Scilab 5.2.0, Scilab provides a consistent, documented and easy way API.

This API provides functions to read/write data from/to Scilab memory.

It provides many advantages:

  • Management of all Scilab data types

  • Consistency over all data types

  • Error management

  • Fully documented

  • Fully tested by unitary tests

  • Straight and named access (See the call_scilab API) to variables.

  • And it will be maintained over future versions of Scilab

Usually, this API is used to extend Scilab capabilities but can be used in other contexts

  • Libraries or C/C++ functions: Many libraries have been developed on the free/Open source or proprietary markets. This library can be loaded and used in a high level language like Scilab. API Scilab provides the capabilities to interact with such libraries.

  • Scilab can be used as computing engine from a third party software. This feature is called call_scilab when Scilab is used from C/C++ code or javasci when used from Java. Access to variable is done through their names (named variable).

Note that old APIs (stackX.h) will not be available after Scilab 6.0 (included).
