Writing Scilab Extensions. Baudin, M.
abstract   bibtex   
In this document, we present methods to use and create Scilab extensions. In the first part, we focus on the use of external modules. We describe their general organization and how to install a module from ATOMS. Then we describe how to build a module from the sources. In the second part, we present the management of a toolbox, and the purpose of each directory. We emphasize the use of simple methods to automatically create the help pages and to manage the unit tests. Then we present the creation of interfaces, which allows to connect Scilab to a compiled C, C++ or Fortran library. We consider the example of a simple function in the C language and explore several ways to make this function available to Scilab. We consider a simple method based on exchanging data by file. We then present a method based on the call function. Finally, we present the classical, but more advanced, method to create a gateway and how to use the Scilab API. The two last sections focus on designing issues, such as managing the optional input or output arguments or designing examples.
