Hi all,
What would you think about a feature describe as follows?
We coud add a specific calling sequence for lines function (e.g
lines(-1000)) that will switch automatically the display of Scilab to
the "short" mode [1000x1000 constant] for a matrix (or hypermatrix)
having a dimension greater that 1000.
I agree with Serge that my initial proposal using existing lines() flags
and just adding a sign convention is not good, for the reason he
explained, and also because such a convention would be closed, would
prevent any extension for further paging or overall formating modes.
But i disagree about extending format() instead, because presently
format() works only on formating numbers (for disp() and string()). This
would turn its role confused.
I would rather advice to keep lines() to implement new paging modes --
because it is already its job, not the format()'s one : Scilab's
format() is not Matlab's one --, but to extend its size.
Hence, L = lines(); L(3)=100 could be a new flag thresholding
full/abstract modes.
In the same way, a non-wrapping mode could be tuned through L(4),
instead of highjacking L(2) with any sign convention.
Finally, if a compact output mode without extra blank lines should be
implemented & switched, lines() would also be involved, not format().

PS : format() could also be extended, in the first place for instance to
replace xset("fpf",v) -- that has still no set() equivalence ; but this
is another discussion.
