About

Scilab is free and open source software for numerical computation providing a powerful computing environment for engineering and scientific applications. Scilab includes hundreds of mathematical functions. It has a high level programming language allowing access to advanced data structures, 2-D and 3-D graphical functions. A large number of functionalities is included in Scilab:

  • Maths & Simulation: For usual engineering and science applications
  • 2-D & 3-D Visualization: Graphics functions to visualize, annotate and export data
  • Optimization: Algorithms to solve constrained and unconstrained continuous and discrete problems
  • Statistics: Tools to perform data analysis and modeling
  • Control System Design & Analysis: Standard algorithms and tools for control system study
  • Signal Processing: Visualize, analyze and filter signals in time and frequency domains
  • Application Development: Increase Scilab native functionalities and manage data exchanges
  • Xcos - Hybrid dynamic systems modeler and simulator: Modeling physical systems, control systems

Thanks to its ability to interconnect with third-party technologies and applications, Scilab can also act as a unique platform to bring together codes written in different programming languages in a single, unified language, thus facilitating their distribution, their back-up and use.

Permissions

2 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.

  • X11 display: X11 lets apps read input and windows of other apps
    --socket=x11
  • full access to your home folder
    --filesystem=home
  • network
    --share=network
  • inter-process communication (needed for X11)
    --share=ipc
  • audio
    --socket=pulseaudio
  • GPU acceleration
    --device=dri

Who publishes this

On Flathub: the manifest was reviewed and built on Flathub's infrastructure, but the developer has not verified ownership of the app id.

  • fetches from deb.debian.org over unencrypted http: anyone on the path can swap the bytes
    source:insecure-url
  • installs a prebuilt binary instead of building from source (x65)
    source:prebuilt
  • on Flathub: manifest reviewed and built by Flathub; the developer has not verified the app id
    publisher:flathub
