  • Next to the on line help of the software, we encourage you (specially if you are novice) to read our webpage dedicated to free books or reports to make the first move with Scilab or to consult the Scilab step-to-step web site. Scilab team express one's thanks to Jacques-Deric Rouault from NAMC laboratory for his work - CNRS UMR 8620, bat 446 Université Paris-sud, F91400 Orsay.

  • Toolbox guide. This article describes a standart method to create a Scilab toolbox. The objective is to help the contributors to build a toolbox easily, but also that the users are able to install it with just the execution of a main builder and a main loader script. We show in first time how to structure your toolbox (sub-directories contents, files, ...), in second time how to customize the templates to create the builder(s), the loader(s), and the Scilab help files. To finish we explain how to upload your contribution on the scilab website.

  • Some documentation not yet updated are still available and can be useful.
