Ubuntu 12.04 : Applets on the panel

This is if you are using a gnome gui for ubuntu
If panel gets screwed then -
Alt + Right-Click on the panel and delete it

Then, Alt + Right-Click on the bottom panel and say "New Panel"

On the new panel do Alt + Right-Click, and click on "Add to Panel..."
In the window and add the following applets

1. Notification Area
2. Indicator Complete
3. Menu Bar (Custom menu bar)

this should resemble the default gnome toolbar.


Peace.

Scilab : Include value of a variable in figure title

If your plot command is in a loop and you want to change the title everytime based on a changing variable then use the string command and the + operator.

For example,
In my code, the variable "init_level" was changing in each iteration and I wanted it to be in the title of the plots. So I modified the title() command for my figure in the following way.

title('5. For initial Level = '+string(init_level)+' the variation is :' ,'fontsize',3);

Note how the single quotes are used as the  string command divides the title into two parts. and the + operator joins them all together.

Here, you can also see how I was able to vary the font size of the title as well.
