Samuel,
Thanks, I've filed the wish as
http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16268.
Just a detail regarding the bugzilla interface: Any issue like this is
called a "bug" and we have to accept this to complete the form. I think
some of them are not really bugs but inconsistencies or other kind of
minor details and it would be nice that we could file them as "issues",
term that better describes what they really are. Other OS free software
projects have an "issue tracker".
Regards,
Federico Miyara

Dear all,
When using makecell such as in
--> u = makecell([2 2], cos, 'hello', 1+%s^2, [1 2; 3 4])
u =
[ 1 fptr ] [1x1 string ]
[1x1 polynomial] [2x2 constant]
we get a cell array where the unidimensional ordering of the cells
goes first along columns and then ows. However, when extracting
components unidimensionally, it behaves the other way around:
--> u(1:4)
ans =
[ 1 fptr ]
[1x1 polynomial]
[1x1 string ]
[2x2 constant ]
The same happens wen applying matrix:
--> matrix(u,4,1)
ans =
[ 1 fptr ]
[1x1 polynomial]
[1x1 string ]
[2x2 constant ]
--> matrix(u,1,4)
ans =
[1 fptr] [1x1 polynomial] [1x1 string] [2x2 constant]
Isn't this inconsistent?
Shouldn't makecell create the cell array going along rows and then
columns?
You are right, Federico.
We could have expected to list cells elements in linearized indices
order, as for all other native Scilab arrays.
This irregularity/exception is completely useless and misleading:
--> c = { "abcd" %T ; %pi %z}
c =
[1x1 string ] [1x1 boolean ]
[1x1 constant] [1x1 polynomial]
--> makecell([2 2], c{:}(:))
ans =
[1x1 string ] [1x1 constant ]
[1x1 boolean] [1x1 polynomial]
The fact that it is documented does not attenuate it.
Please do not hesitate to report a wish about removing this exception.
It would not be complicated to remove it, and tracking and updating it
in existing codes would be easy, through the /makecell/ keyword.
Regards
Samuel
