mtlb_format - Matlab format emulation function
Description
Matlab and Scilab
format
behave differently in some particular cases:
-
-
-
Some Matlab formats do not exist in Scilab
-
Calling sequence for
format
is different in Scilab and Matlab
The function
mtlb_format(type,prec)
is used by
mfile2sci
to replace
format([type prec])
when it was not
possible to know what were the inputs while porting Matlab code to Scilab. This function will
determine the correct semantic at run time. If you want to have a
more efficient code it is possible to replace
mtlb_format
calls:
-
-
-
If
type=""
and
prec=""
mtlb_format("","")
may be replaced by
format("v",6)
-
If
type="+"
and
prec=""
mtlb_format("+","")
may be replaced by
format(6)
-
If
type="long"
and
prec=""
mtlb_format("long","")
may be replaced by
format(16)
-
If
type="long"
and
prec="e"
mtlb_format("long","e")
may be replaced by
format("e"16)
-
If
type="long"
and
prec="g"
mtlb_format("long","g")
may be replaced by
format("e"16)
-
If
type="short"
and
prec=""
mtlb_format("short","")
may be replaced by
format(6)
-
If
type="short"
and
prec="e"
mtlb_format("short","e")
may be replaced by
format("e"6)
-
If
type="short"
and
prec="g"
mtlb_format("short","g")
may be replaced by
format("e"6)
Caution:
mtlb_format
has not to be used for hand coded functions.
