HELP ARRAY_REFLECT David Young October 1992 revisec February 2000 LIB *ARRAY_REFLECT extends an array or region by reflecting it about its boundaries. array_reflect(ARRIN, REGIONIN, ARROUT_OR_FALSE, REGIONOUT) -> ARROUT ARRIN is an input array. Packed floating point arrays are most efficient (see *ARRAYSAMPLE, which is used by this routine). REGIONIN is a list the same length as the boundslist of ARRIN, specifying a region of ARRIN to extend; alternatively REGIONIN may be , in which case it defaults to the boundslist of ARRIN. If ARROUT_OR_FALSE is an array (again preferably floating-point packed), then the output data is stored in this array; it may be the same array as ARRIN. If ARROUT_OR_FALSE is , a new array is created with boundslist given by REGIONOUT and the data is stored in it. In either case, the array used is returned. REGIONOUT specifies the region of ARROUT in which data is to be stored; it must contain REGIONIN. If REGIONOUT is then ARROUT_OR_FALSE must be an array, and its boundslist is used for REGIONOUT. With 2-D arrays, the effect is to tile the plane with tiles that are twice as big (in each dimension) as the original region, and which match up at their junctions. Note: this used to be almost identical to *ARRAY_WRAP, but in Feb 2000 ARRAY_WRAP was updated to be much more flexible. The same job needs to be done on ARRAY_REFLECT so that it uses the same techniques and allows the same flexibility. Specifically, at present regionout has to contain regionin, which should not be required. --- $popvision/help/array_reflect --- Copyright University of Sussex 1992. All rights reserved. ----------
