Hello Samuel, Thanks for sharing uman and congratulations for the amazing work done. This is a very useful tool to increase Scilab users productivity. The quick access to the appropriate bug webpages is awesome. May we also use uman to query the relevant threads in Scilab users webpages? Kind regards, Rafael From: users [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Antoine Monmayrant Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2015 8:27 AM To: International users mailing list for Scilab. <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Scilab-users] uman : help in the console, with language switch, automatic redirections, related online pages. I just started to play with it and it looks good! It provides a feature that scilab is lacking: a decent command line documentation. Thanks,

It is a general purpose function that might be useful for every Scilab user and developer. uman 1.2 is just released on ATOMS (web and Scilab interface). Install it and enjoy! Pointers : * ATOMS page : http://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/uman * Help (en): http://sgougeon.free.fr/scilab/help/uman/scilab_en_US_help/uman.html * Help (fr) : http://sgougeon.free.fr/scilab/help/uman/scilab_fr_FR_help/uman.html Main features : * A single function to see help pages from Scilab, from installed ATOMS modules (no need to load them), from other external modules, and heading comments in functions. Around 50 external references available on the Scilab FileExchange can also be addressed. * A single function to target and display contents in text mode in the console, or as usual in the help browser, or as well online (help, bugzilla, atoms, forge, or even external websites). uman aims to embrace as many Scilab ressources as possible. * Just give a language code en | de | fr | ja | pt | ru | zh in option, and you get the right version of the page in the console or online. No need to change the session's language. Watching the reference en_US version of the page is now straightforward, without leaving your locales. * Just display main infos in brief: path in help, calling sequences, parameters, See also. And be free to display more on request: description, examples, history, parent ToC... Or finally display the whole page with the "a" option. It is so easy to copy/past pieces of examples from the console... to the console! * Are you used to use another scientific language? Almost 200 automatic redirections will target the right or nearest Scilab equivalence for you. Other handy shortcuts are also defined for all users. * Stucked with a bug? The "wb" option lets you list documented ones related to the faulty entry, for Scilab and many ATOMS packages. Online users comments have never been so easily reachable. * Last but not least: get a smart text layout in console. Nested lists of items, tables, pieces of codes, notes and warnings, text styles.. are supported. The code style of calling sequences and examples is also improved. Supported OS : Windows, Linux and Mac OS, with Scilab 5.5 and Scilab 6. uman has been extensively tested for Windows, a few tested for Linux, and is almost untested for Mac OS. Issues may be reported in comments on the ATOMS page. Please have a look to the list of known limitations before posting. Try uman, and adopt it ;) Best regards Samuel Gougeon _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.scilab.org/mailman/listinfo/users
