If current figure is a uicontrol one, Scilab and Matlab close are equivalent. But if current figure is a graphic window, Scilab equivalent for Matlab close is delete(gcf()).
If h is a uicontrol figure, Scilab and Matlab close(h) are equivalent. But if h is a graphic window, Scilab equivalent for Matlab close(h) is delete(h).
Scilab equivalent for Matlab close('all') is xdel(winsid()).
There is no Scilab equivalent for Matlab close(name) however, mtlb_close can be an equivalent.
Scilab equivalent for Matlab close('all','hidden') is xdel(winsid()) but Scilab kills all figures even if they are hidden.
