Hello,

I am also in favour of including this function in Scilab, with an “improved” 
name. However, as far as I know, an inset has very frequently its own pair of 
axes, as opposed to a ticks-switching in (only one of) the axes. Thus, I would 
not recommend a name with “inset” and reserve it for a function more closely 
implementing an inset.
Zoom is quite appealing.
I was wondering about “non-linear”_something…

Thank you for your developments
Denis

Objet : Re: [Scilab-users] plotplots() in Scilab

Hello Samuel, hello all,

First thanks for the request for inclusion, that’s always good to have more 
features into Scilab itself. However, I have a few remarks regarding this 
function.

1.       The function name plotplots() does not seem well known nor easy to 
find ; after a few research I found similar behavior for Matlab and Matplotlib 
worded as “zoomed” or “zoomed_inset_axes” which better represent the behavior.

·       
https://fr.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/349042-zoomed-plot-in-the-same-figure

What about using `plot_zoomed()`, `plot_inset()` or `plot_inside()` ?

2.       I found the need to have a second axe (example 1) different to 
recompute ticks (example 2). I might have miss something, could you clarify 
these two usage ?

Thanks,

Clément

Subject: [Scilab-users] plotplots() in Scilab


Dear all,
I would like to propose to include the plotplots() graphical function into 
Scilab.

For now 3 years, plotplots() is distributed alone in its own external 
module<https://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/plotplots>, with a fair number of 
downloads for a single function.

Its embedded documentation is as well provided online as PDF, in 
english<https://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/plotplots/2.0/files/plotplots_en_US.pdf>
 and in 
french<https://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/plotplots/2.0/files/plotplots_fr_FR.pdf>.

As soon as a function has a local singularity or/and an asymptotical behavior 
(that's quite common), plotplots() is very helpful to illustrate its specific 
behaviors without masking more "regular" features with a crushing graphical 
scale.

Every comment is welcome about the current plotplots status, and about the 
proposal to include it as a native Scilab function.

Hope reading you,

Best regards

Samuel
