Re: [Scilab-users] Default grid color = grey? Increase the zoom factor (per wheel step)?
Hi Scilabers and Samuel
I normally don't have good luck with zoom or rotate functions, so I
don't use this feature, but I also rarely am plotting in 3D - and in
classic 2D I just continue until I have the right plot size (no need to
zoom).
P.S. For grid color, it's OK to keep it black and avoid trouble with
colormaps.
P.P.S. Regarding the size of the plot window (figure.size), it's
standard [626,587] and I find it a bit small. Maybe it's a good size if
your screen is 1024 x 768 (?), but I think most computers these days are
with 1366 x 768 or larger screens (mine is 1920 x 1080 on a 14 inch
screen). We should avoid the plot window to be too big for anybody (that
would be frustrating), but could the plot be rescaled depending on
screen resolution? I find myself typically increasing figure.size by 50%.
Best regards,
Claus

The issue with a non black or white color is that, if the current
colormap does not have it, then the color is automatically appended to
the colormap.
With the current colormap implementation as a figure's property, this
may have some side effects for plotting functions like grayplot()
whose rendering in "scaled" mode spans the whole colormap, including
the appended gray that we do not wish to include in the plot rendering...
This is why carefully tuning the default grid style /density/ was
required, as discussed in the description of the report #15421
, implemented in Scilab 6.0.2 (so
even before 6.1.0).
*2)* Too small zoom factor
On any graphic, zooming by a factor 2 (in size) requires 11 wheel steps!
To me, this is too slow. In another similar software, /each/ wheel
step increases the scale by the same factor 2.
This is likely too much, but don't you think we could increase a bit
the Scilab zoom factor?
Hope reading you soon.

Samuel

Dear all,
Thank you for your comments.

Hi Samuel
I agree. The font is always too small. The font = 2 seems to be the
smallest feasible increment and it sounds like a good one (i.e.
without overdoing it).
I agree, 2 is a minimal value. Unless there are more "votes" for 3,
let's propose this new default value = 2 for Scilab 6.1.1.

the title is much harder (to me. I got lost in the code..).
As well, detecting when the input is some LaTeX content and then
increase the default font size is technically more complicated.
Let's start with a simple but urgent improvement.
Still, the reviewers for publications seldom complain about too large
font sizes, much more about too small font sizes! For these
applications, the risk of having to change the font sizes upon
revision of a paper is smaller with default font sizes of 3 for the
labels and 4 (or even 5 when LaTeX style is used) for the titles
Right. I am afraid that some "final touch" will anyway most often be
required, depending on the Reviewer, the Editor, etc.

That's something else, to be discussed in another thread.
