WHAT IS SCIPAD ?
================
Scipad is a powerful editor and graphical debugger for programs
written in Scilab language. It is a mature and highly configurable
programmer's editor, including features like syntax colorization,
regexp search/replace, parentheses matching, logical/physical line
numbering, peer windows, line and block text editing, and much more.
Scipad can be used along with Scicoslab or Scilab, but even as a
standalone text editor. Used as internal Sci(cos)lab editor, it
interacts tightly with the interpreter, allowing:
- Scilab code execution control
- conditional breakpointing
- variable retrieval and tooltip display
- Scilab help lookup
- access to source code of Scilab library function
- control of Scilab facilities for Matlab code and creation of
help documents
- and much more
Scipad also includes basic Modelica and XML syntax colorization; it is
currently localized in 13 languages and further localizations can
easily be added. Scipad is entirely written in Tcl/Tk and Scilab
language. It has been tested and developed under various versions of
Windows and Linux.
