Reactivate an older Scilab nurbs toolbox?

Dear,

reviewing this post

I came across some info about nurb surfaces . It appears that there is a toolbox for creating nurbs:

However, this toolbox was created with Scilab 3.1 and contains most likely some outdated functions.

It also seems that this toolbox was made available for Matlab and Octave.

Matlab
This is also rather old, the toolbox dates back to 2010.

Octave
It looks like this is most updated version, since the last update was in 02.2025. Having a look at the authors the author of the Scilab-version is still maintaining the Octave-version.

I am wondering if Scilab could convince the authors to create an updated Scilab version of this toolbox…probably via the octave.discourse group.

Best Regards,
Philipp

Hello,

In fact, the fastest way to go would be to update the old Scilab toolbox. But the devil is in the details, as the macros use some removed functions (such as hypermat()) and the gateways use the old Scilab stack.
The second option (ask the author to translate the actual Octave code to Scilab) is rather irrealistic.
