Description :
Color graphics, 3d rendering and data manipulation routines for Scilab 
by Enrico Segre

The current stable version is 0.9.9 (17/8/2003). 
The up-to-date version should be found, at least for some time, on
http://www.weizmann.ac.il/~fesegre/scistuff.html.
 
Note: the old home location http://www.polito.it/~segre/scistuff.html
is no longer mantained and will disappear.

Short description:
==================
bip - ascii character beep

cplot - 2d plot of a colored curve
cplot3d  - 3d plot of colored curves
cpoints - 2d plot of colored dots
date2day - day number corresponding to gregorian date
day2date - gregorian date corresponding to day number
downsample - reduce the entries of a hypermatrix by averaging neighbors
errbar - 2d plot of errorbars (nicer)
fasthistogram - fast version of histogram()
grid2Ddata - grid sparse data points to a 2d structured grid
histogram - histogram of a vector of monovariate data
histogram2 - joint histogram of values in a bivariate space
interp2 - bilinear interpolation of z(x,y)
interp3 - trilinear interpolation of s(x,y,z)
interp3v - trilinear interpolation of a 3d vector field
isearch - vector lookup
isosurf3d - isosurface of level s=s0 from 3d gridded data
mhistogram - histogram of each rows of a matrix
oplot - 2d plot of x,y datasets of different length, with linespoints
oplot3d - 3d plot of sets of facelets with different renderings
pixmapl - false color plot of a matrix, with colorbar and contours
polarmap - false color plot of a matrix in polar (radar) form
polarplot - rose-of-winds plot of a polar function
rebin - rebins a matrix on a new grid using bilinear interpolation
rebin3 - regrids a 3d hypermatrix using trilinear interpolation
ribbon - rendering of trajectories or flowlines in 3D
setcmap - choose one among various predefined colormaps
shadecomp - calculates the shading of a set of 3d faces for rendering
shadesurf  -  3d-plot of a surface with source-of-light shading
shadesurf2 - plot of a surface with shaded lighting 
shift - cyclically shifts the entries of a vector or of a matrix
shrinkfaces - shrink a set of 3d facelets for better visibility
slice3d  -  generates a plane cut of a 3d hypermatrix in 3d space
spaghetti - trajectories or flowlines as tubes in 3D
sphere - generates facelets for a set ot 3d spheres
spherecast - embeds a matrix onto a sphere for false color plotting
subwind - sets a subwindow of the current graphic window
tintcmap - set a stacked colormap based on prescribed tints
traj2 - integrate trajectories in a 2d flow
traj3 - integrate trajectories in a 3d flow
trisplit - triangularize a set of 3d facelets by interpolation
tubelet - lines as tubules in 3D
whats - verbose information about objects in scilab
xprofile - interactive profiles of sections of a 2d matrix


Hope you find them useful. Comments and suggestions are welcome!

Installation
============
Individual routines used to work with scilab 2.6, 2.5.1, 2.5, and 
most perhaps still with 2.4.1; however, the installation process 
is tuned up for Scilab 2.6 and CVS above.

To Install this toolbox: (Scilab>=2.6 0nly) windows/unix 

	[1] To build the package: (you need a C compiler, or you have
                  to live without the routine fasthistogram() )
   
		1.1 A precompiled version for windows platform 
	    		can be downloaded on Scilab site (so says JPC)
	    		In this case jump to [2]
    
		1.2 run builder.sce under scilab (you must be in this 
				directory when running builder.sce)
	    	or 
        	    change the content of Path.incl and run make 

	[2] To load the package: 

		run the scilab script loader.sce (from where you want) 

	[3] To clean: 
		type make distclean
		(make distclean wil only work after step [1] is performed)

After the installation, you can view some demos by typing
es_demos() at the scilab prompt, or choosing "Advanced Graphic Toolbox"
in the demo menu.
