mg_makerange.pro

includes main-level program

Routines

top mg_makerange

result = mg_makerange(startValue, stopValue [, increment=float] [, n=long] [, count=long])

Create an array ranging from the startValue and stopping before the stopValue.

Return value

fltarr

Parameters

startValue in required type=float

first value of the output array

stopValue in required type=float

largest possible value for the last value of the output array

Keywords

increment in optional type=float default=1.0: if N is not set, then INCREMENT is used to compute N
n in optional type=long: number of elements in the output array; if not set, it is calculated from INCREMENT
count out optional type=long: set to a named variable to return the number of elements in the returned array, i.e., N if N is used
