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.
