firstnonsingleton - Finds first dimension which is not 1

Calling Sequence

[dim]=firstnonsingleton(A[,opt])

Parameters

• dim : first dimension of A which is not 1
• A : a variable of any Scilab data type
• opt : a character string giving the type of output we want
  • "num" : returned value is a numerical value
  • "str" : returned value is a character string if possible ("r" instead of 1 and "c" instead of 2)

Description

This function is used by mfile2sci to emulate Matlab behavior under Scilab, particularly for functions which treat the values along the first non-singleton dimension of A in Matlab while in Scilab they treat all values of A.

Examples

A = [1 2 3;4 5 6];
// Scilab max
M = max(A)
// Matlab max emulation
M = max(A,firstnonsingleton(A))
