Syntax
Scilab syntax is largely based on the MATLAB language. The simplest way to use Scilab codes is to type it in at the prompt, --> , in the graphical command window.
Hello World! in Scilab:
disp('Hello World');
Toolboxes
Scilab has many toolboxes for different tasks, such as
- Scilab Image Processing Toolbox (SIP) and its variants (such as SIVP). This is used for image processing.[4][5]
- Scilab Wavelet Toolbox: Used for wavelets
- Scilab Java and .NET Module
- Scilab Remote Access Module
More are available on ATOMS Portal or the Scilab forge.
Differences between GNU Octave
GNU Octave is also a MATLAB-like language. But it was made by different technical viewpoints.[6][7]
Usage
The original purpose of Scilab was numerical analysis[2][3] (such as numerical methods for ordinary differential equations[8]). Today, it is also used in scientific education[9][10][11][12] and optimization.[13][14]
