# xsil2graphics(1)

xsil2graphics - generate scripts to load xsil output data files xsil2graphics \[options\] \<xsil\_file\> Utility program bundled with **xmds**, used to generate scripts that load simulation output data into either matlab (http://www.mathworks.com) or scilab (http://www.scilab.org), which are then used to manipulate the  results further if necessary and then to present the results graphically.\
 **Matlab** To generate a matlab m-file, from the xsil file data\_file.xsil use the command: **bash$** xsil2graphics data\_file.xsil or **bash$** xsil2graphics --matlab data\_file.xsil Then at the matlab command prompt: \>\> data\_file\
 **Scilab** To generate a scilab script file, from the xsil file data\_file.xsil use the command: **bash$** xsil2graphics --scilab data\_file.xsil Then at the scilab command prompt: --\> exec('data\_file.sci') **-m**, **--matlab** generate matlab m-file script to load data from the xsil  data file (the default option) **-s**, **-scilab** generate scilab script file to load data from the xsil  data file **-o**, **--outfile \<out\_file**\> specify an alternative output script filename to the default which is the input xsil filename with the .xsil extension changed to either .m for the matlab m-file or .sci for the scilab script file **bash$** xsil2graphics nlse.xsil Generates the output **nlse.m** to load the data into matlab **bash$** xsil2graphics -m nlse.xsil Also generates the output **nlse.m** but explicitly sets matlab to be the output format **bash$** xsil2graphics --scilab nlse.xsil Generates the output **nlse.sci** to load the data into scilab **bash$** xsil2graphics --outfile nlse\_new.m nlse.xsil Generates the output **nlse\_new.m** to load the data into matlab Originally written by Greg Collecutt Maintained by Paul Cochrane with code contributed by Joe Hope No known bugs.
