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).
