Scilab plots : Legend

To include legend into a scilab plot there is no GUI based method as in MATLAB. At least, there are none that i know of.
Instead we use the following commands after the figure has been plotted.

g = gcf();
legend(g, ['Legend entry 1','Legend entry 2'],-5);

The last argument decides the location of the legend in the plot. -5 puts it outside the plot on the top left side. Vary this argument to find other positions.





Peace.

Scilab Plots : axes ranges

The plots themselves adjust the axes ranges depending on the values of the data being plotted.
However, if you need to set the ranges fixed, then use the following code after your plot command.

{code}
g = gca();
g.data_bounds = [0,0;1,1];
{\code}

where, 
g.data_bounds = [xLowerLimit, yLowerLimit: xUpperLimit,yUpperLimit];





Peace.
