[SOLVED] Why won't Scilab open an image file?

Why won't Scilab open an image file?

I am trying to work with image files under Scilab, and I get stuck at the very beginning, unable to load an image file.

I have searched the help system as well as the Web, tried two versions of Scilab (because some of the answers I found say that 6.0 is incompatible with some image functions) and still drew a blank. Whatever I try, the imread function is simply not there.

Here is what I get:

Under Scilab 6.0.2:

--> clear

--> atomsSystemUpdate()
Scanning repository http://atoms.scilab.org/6.0 ... Done


--> atomsInstall("SIVP")
atomsInstallList: The package "SIVP" is not registered.
Please check on the ATOMS repository that it is available for Scilab 6.0 on Windows.
If it is, run atomsSystemUpdate() before trying atomsInstall(..) again.

--> disp( atomsGetInstalled() );

What am I doing wrong?

Solution

After atomsInstall you have to restart Scilab to load the toolbox.
