Multiple images in scilab simultaneously

Question

How do we display more than one image simultaneously in scilab? I used to do it using figure,imshow() in matlab. Whats the scilab alternative? Thank you.

Answer 1

Multiple imshow windows

Assuming you are using SIVP for image processing in SciLab, it is currently only possible to show one imshow window at a time.

Quote from the SIVP imshow documentation :

Bugs and Shortcomings

Only one imshow window can pop up.

Workaround

A workaround is to combine multiple images and show that image, for example:

// Two example images
im1 = ones(400,600);
im2 = rand(400,600);

// Put images side by side
im3 = [im1 im2];
imshow(im3);

// or put them top-to-bottom
im3 = [im1 ; im2 ];
imshow(im3);

When combining images be sure to have matching dimensions, so when placing images side-by-side the number of rows must match and when placing them top-to-bottom the number of columns must match.
