Playing around a little with SciLab in SageMathCloud. Following [Scilab for very beginners](file:///Users/wstein/Downloads/Scilab_beginners.pdf).

Note: there are currently annoying control codes in the output, when you use "%scilab".

Note: If you make a command-line terminal on SageMathCloud and just type scilab it fails, but if you type scilab -nw it works.

scilab('4+5')
9. 
%scilab

4+5
ans = 9.
%default_mode scilab

 57/4
ans = 14.25
(2+9)^5
ans = 161051.
2+3.4
ans = 5.4
sqrt(9)
ans = 3.

We can't just write %e as in the tutorial, since that is SMC's notation to switch to a different mode for the cell.

%scilab
%e
%e = 2.7182818
2+3*%i
ans = 2. + 3.i
(1+sqrt(5))/2
ans = 1.618034
exp(10)/factorial(10)
ans = 0.0060699
a
!--error 4 Undefined variable: a
a=%pi/4
a = 0.7853982

a = 0.7853982
function d=dollars(e,t);
    d=e*t;
endfunction

dollars(200,1.4)
ans = 280.
function y=f(x);
    y=36/(8+exp(-x));
endfunction

function y=g(x);
    y=4*x/9+4;
endfunction

ans = 4.4999745

I don't think SMC has automatic support for scilab plots. If there were interest, it would probably be easy to implement.

plot(1,2,".r")

But you can display plots anyways as follows:

%sage
def show_plot():
    scilab.eval("xs2svg(gcf(),'/tmp/scilab.svg')"); salvus.file("/tmp/scilab.svg")

%sage show_plot()

plot([1,3],[2,5])

%sage show_plot()

function y=f(x)
    y=(x^2+2*x)*exp(-x)
endfunction
x=linspace(-2,5,50);
plot(x,f)
Warning : redefining function: f . Use funcprot(0) to avoid this message 
%sage show_plot()

clf
X=[1,2,5];n1=[5,10,5];n2=[6,8,7];
bar(X,[n1',n2'])

%sage show_plot()
