## @deftypefn  {} {@var{hstr} =} dec2hex (@var{d})
## @deftypefnx {} {@var{hstr} =} dec2hex (@var{d}, @var{len})
## Return a string representing the conversion of the integer @var{d} to a
## hexadecimal (base16) number.
##
## If @var{d} is negative, return the hexadecimal complement of @var{d}.
##
## If @var{d} is a matrix or cell array, return a string matrix with one row
## for each element in @var{d}, padded with leading zeros to the width of the
## largest value.
##
## The optional second argument, @var{len}, specifies the minimum number of
## digits in the result.
##
## Examples:
##
## @example
## @group
## dec2hex (2748)
##      @xresult{} "ABC"
##
## dec2hex (-2)
##      @xresult{} "FE"
## @end group
## @end example
##
## Programming tip: @code{dec2hex} discards any fractional part of the input.
## If you need the fractional part to be converted too, call @code{dec2base}
## with a nonzero number of decimal places.  You can also use @code{fix} or
## @code{round} on fractional inputs to ensure predictable rounding behavior.
##
## @seealso{hex2dec, dec2base, dec2bin}

  ## Left-pad to a multiple of 4 columns.
  n = mod (columns (d), 4);

  d = d(:, 1:4:end) * 8 + d(:, 2:4:end) * 4 + d(:, 3:4:end) * 2 + d(:, 4:4:end);
  ## Elements of d are now in the range 0 to 15.

  hstr = "0123456789ABCDEF"(d+1);
  if (rows (hstr) < rows (d))  # this edge case happens when
    hstr = hstr(:);            # passing multiple inputs in the range 0 to 15.
    ## If we don't manually convert it to column, we'd get all those
    ## hex digits on the same line as one big string instead of one per line.
    ## Good test for this:    dec2hex (0:15)
    ## compared with:         dec2hex (uint64 (81985529216486895), 16)
