Array Creation Routines

ASARR(key₁, value₁, ... key_n , value_n)

ASARR(keys_arr, values_list)

Creates an associative array containing specified variables and expressions.

BINDGEN (dim₁ [, dim₂, ... , dim_n] )

Returns a byte array with the specified dimensions, setting the contents of the result to increasing numbers starting at 0.

BYTARR (dim₁ [, dim₂, ... , dim_n] )

Returns a byte vector or array.

CINDGEN (dim₁ [, dim₂ , ... , dim_n] )

Returns a complex single-precision floating-point array.

COMPLEXARR (dim₁ [, dim₂, ... , dim_n] )

Returns a complex single-precision floating-point vector or array.

DBLARR (dim₁, ... , dim_n)

Returns a double-precision floating-point vector or array.

DCINDGEN(dim₁ [, dim₂ , ... , dim_n])

Returns a double-precision floating-point complex array.

DCOMPLEXARR (dim₁ [, dim₂, ... , dim_n] )

Returns a double-precision floating-point complex vector or array.

DIAG( a )

Makes a diagonal array or extracts the diagonal of an array.

DINDGEN (dim₁, ..., dim_n)

Returns a double-precision floating-point array with the specified dimensions.

FINDGEN (dim₁, ..., dim_n)

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

FLTARR (dim₁, ..., dim_n)

Returns a single-precision floating-point vector or array.

I32ARR (dim₁, ... , dim_n)

Returns a 32-bit integer vector or array.

I32INDGEN (dim₁, ... , dim_n)

Returns a 32-bit integer array with the specified dimensions.

INDGEN (dim₁, ... , dim_n)

Returns an integer array with the specified dimensions.

INTARR (dim₁, ... , dim_n)

Returns an integer vector or array.

LINDGEN (dim₁, ... , dim_n)

Returns a longword integer array with the specified dimensions.

LINSPACE (dims, start, incr)

Generates an array of evenly spaced numbers.

LIST(expr₁ , ..., expr_n)

Creates a list array.

Returns a list.

LONARR (dim₁, ..., dim_n)

Returns a longword integer vector or array.

MAKE_ARRAY ([dim₁, ..., dim_n] )

Returns an array of specified type, dimensions, and initialization. It provides the ability to create an array dynamically whose characteristics are not known until run time.

REPLICATE (value, dim₁, ..., dim_n)

Forms an array with the given dimensions, filled with the specified scalar value.

SINDGEN (dim₁, ... , dim_n)

Returns a string array with the specified dimensions.

STRARR (dim₁, ... , dim_n)

Returns a string array.
