Returns a single-precision floating-point array with specified dimensions.

enabled.

Usage

result = FINDGEN(dim1, ..., dimn)

Input Parameters

dimi—The dimensions of the result. May be any scalar expression. Up to eight dimensions may be specified.

Returned Value

result—An initialized single-precision, floating-point array. If the resulting array is treated as a one-dimensional array, then its initialization is given by the following:

Keywords

None.

Discussion

Each array element is set to the value of its one-dimensional subscript.

Example

This example creates a 4-by-2 single-precision, floating-point array.

; Create a single-precision, floating-point array.

a = FINDGEN(4, 2)

INFO, a

; PV-WAVE prints: A       FLOAT       = Array(4, 2)

PRINT, a

; PV-WAVE prints:

; 0.00000   1.00000   2.00000   3.00000

; 4.00000   5.00000   6.00000   7.00000
