Description

The scilab graphics can be saved with the xbasimp command into unix files. The Scilab command : 

 xbasimp(xx,'des.ps',0)

will save the graphics recorded in the graphic window xx in the file des.ps.xx. This file can't be directly send to a Postscript printer and a set of programs ( in the bin Scilab directory ) are given with Scilab to print it :

  • BEpsf : The BEpsf command will create an Epsf file from your des.ps.xx under the name des.epsf, this Epsf file can be printed on a Postscript printer or inserted into an other Postscript document.
  • Blatexpr : The Blatexpr command will create an Epsf file from your des.ps.xx 
    •   mv des.ps.xx des.ps
  Blatexpr 1.0 1.0 des.ps

    under the name des.epsf and a LaTeX file des.tex. The file des.tex can be inserted in a LaTeX file in order to get the latex figure as follows ( the postscript file is inserted with the special command of LaTeX ) 

     \input des.tex 
 \dessin{caption}{label}
  • Blpr : The Blpr command is used to print a set of graphics on a same sheet of paper. For example to print two graphics on a unique page, one can use : 
    • Blpr "Two graphics" file1.ps.0 file2.ps.1 | lpr
  • Blatexprs : The Blatexprs command is used to insert in a single LaTeX figure a set of Scilab Graphics 
    • Blatexprs res file1.ps.0 file2.ps.1

    will create two files res.ps and res.tex. The file res.tex is used as in the Blatexpr command in order to get the figure.
