I have recently started to use Scilab, and in general it works as a good replacement for MATLAB. One of the things that bothers me though is the figure background color. The first background color of a subplot is always grey, the next ones are white. I can change the white ones with figure options, or with the axle handles, but this does not seem to work for the first subplot of each figure. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
(example code is nothing special:)
x=0:10
y=x
figure
subplot(3,1,1)
plot(x,y)
subplot(3,1,2)
plot(x,y)
subplot(3,1,3)
plot(x,y)
That seems to be an issue with figure. You'd better use scf(), which is "set current figure":
scf(); //always creates new figure
scf(n); //if window 'n' doesn't exist, it creates it
//if it exists, it selects it
I myself always use scf() together with clf(), which is "clear figure". Try the code below, it should work fine:
x=0:10
y=x
scf(0); clf();
subplot(3,1,1)
plot(x,y)
subplot(3,1,2)
plot(x,y)
subplot(3,1,3)
plot(x,y)
