SINDGEN

Syntax | Return Value | Arguments | Examples | Version History | See Also

The SINDGEN function returns a string array with the specified dimensions. Each element of the array is set to the string representation of the value of its one-dimensional subscript, using IDL's default formatting rules.

Syntax

Result = SINDGEN(D₁ [, ..., D₈])

Return Value

Returns a string array of the specified dimensions.

Arguments

D_i

Either an array or a series of scalar expressions specifying the dimensions of the result. If a single argument is specified, it can be either a scalar expression or an array of up to eight elements. If multiple arguments are specified, they must all be scalar expressions. Up to eight dimensions can be specified. If the dimension arguments are not integer values, IDL will convert them to integer values before creating the new array.

Examples

To create S, a six-element string vector with each element set to the string value of its subscript, enter:

S = SINDGEN(6)
