plotlibmode — plotlib compatibility mode
By default all plotlib function names are defined with a leading underscore in order to differentiate some functions from the original scilab functions having the same name (e.g. surf).. If you want to use the classical names without underscores, which will break some features of native Scilab graphics, just add the line
plotlibmode
in your .scilab file, which can be edited by calling xpad :
xpad SCIHOME/.scilab
