View=>Command Window¶
This command opens the UniScript command window. In this window, you can carry out calculations and run UniScript functions.
UniScript Commands¶
The command window can be used to run a UniScript function:
m = matlab_load(GetRootDirectory() + "samples/map-data.mat");
To print the value of a variable type in the variable name and press enter:
m
[.
BEEWG = matrix 1 x 78 [1002.5, 461.7, 350.3, 322, 302.6, ...]
CO = matrix 1 x 78 [0.6, 0.08, 0, 0.05, 0.05, ...]
EWGLST = matrix 1 x 78 [1, 3.1, 5.2, 7.3, 9.4, ...]
_ = string-matrix 11 x 1 ["N", ...]
...
]
object (obj at 0x51DC554)
* m.BEEWG
1002.5000 461.7000 350.3000 322.0000 302.6000 319.9000 ...
Multiple functions must be separated by a semi-colon:
x = linspace(0, 2*PI, 100); y = sin(x); plot(x, y);
The output can be copied into the clipboard or can be displayed in an editor
using the dot command .clip.
Dot Commands¶
UniPlot R2010 supports dot commands.
Note
Dot commands can only be used at the UniScript command prompt, not in programs.

instead of .help you can type in .h If the abbreviation is ambiguous
a list with all matching commands will be displayed.
