  This document	has been automatically generated from the online help
  messages of builtin Tela functions.

  1.  INTRODUCTION

  Negative error codes describe	fatal errors, whereas positive error
  codes	are warnings only. In case of fatal error, the function	output
  arguments have undefined values. If a	function has no	output
  arguments, it	typically has only positive return codes.

  The error code descriptions do normally not appear in	the Tela help
  messages. If an error	occurs,	Tela will however find and display the
  proper textual message.


  1.1.	BatchMode



       [y] = BatchMode()
	BatchMode() returns 1 if this Tela process is in batch mode
	  (command line	switch -b), otherwise 0.


       See also: ``SilentMode'', ``VerboseMode''.



  1.2.	CheckReadOnlyMode



       [y] = CheckReadOnlyMode(;x)
	CheckReadOnlyMode() returns 1 if this Tela process checks that function
	  input	arguments are not modified by the function. The	check is done by
	  default, but if it causes problems (bugs in Tela) you	can turn it off
	  using	CheckReadOnlyMode(off).
	  CheckReadOnlyMode returns the	old mode setting.


       See also: ``SilentMode'', ``BatchMode'',	``VerboseMode''.

	  Error	codes:
	  1: Argument not integer





  1.3.	FFT












  [f] =	FFT(u; dim)
   FFT(u) gives	the complex Fast Fourier Transform of u.
     If	u's rank is more than one, the transform is computed
     only along	the first dimension (many independent 1D
     transforms).

     FFT(u,dim)	computes the FFT along the specified dimension.
     The first dimension is labeled 1 and so on.

     The forward FFT is	defined	as

     FFT(u)_j =	sum(c_k	* exp(-i*(j-1)*(k-1)*2*pi/n), k=1..n)

     where i = sqrt(-1).



  See also: ``invFFT''.

     Error codes:
     -1: First argument	not a numeric array
     -2: Second	argument not integer
     -3: Second	argument out of	range






  1.4.	GetInstructionData



       [Ninstructions,Noperations] = GetInstructionData(p,mnemo)

	  the number of	specific instructions executed when p=perf() was
	  gathered, and	the number of (floating	point) operations associated
	  with the instruction.
	  The mnemonic must be a string, and it	may be any of the names
	  that appear in the disasm(f) listing.	In addition, mnemonic may
	  be "flop", which includes all	instructions that may perform floating
	  point	arithmetic, or it may be "*", which includes all instructions.
	  Error	codes:

	  -2: Second arg not a string
	  -3: Second arg not a recognized string

       [y] = HeavisideTheta(x)
	y = HeavisideTheta(x) returns 1	if x>=0	and 0 if x<0.

  1.7.	LU



       [L;U,P] = LU(A)
	[L,U,P]	= LU(A)	computes the LU	factorization of matrix	A.
	  The factorization is A = P**L**U, where P is a permutation
	  matrix, L is lower triangular	with unit diagonal and U is
	  upper	triangular.
	  [lu] = LU(A) leaves the factors L and	U packed in one	matrix.
	  [lu,p] = LU(A) returns also the pivoting info	vector p.
	  (Notice that this p is related to the	permutation matrix P
	  but is not the same. You need	this form of LU	if you want to
	  use LUbacksubst later	on.)

	I=find(V) returns the index vector I=(i) for which
	  V[i] is nonzero. V must be an	integer	array. The length
	  of I is equal	to the number of nonzeros in V.
	  If V is multidimensional, it is used in flattened form.


       See also: ``any'', ``all'', ``flatten''.

	  Error	codes:
	  1: Argument not integer vector





  1.56.	 flatten



  [y] =	flatten(;x)
   flatten(x) returns the array	x flattened to a vector.
     If	x is not an array, it is returned as is.
     x = flatten() flattens x "in place". This is much faster
     (it works in constant time) than to do x =	flatten(x),
     since no data movement is involved.





  1.57.	 floor



       [y] = floor(x)
	floor(x) returns the largest integer which is smaller than x.
	  x must be integer or real scalar or array. If	it is an array,
	  the operation	is applied componentwise.


       See also: ``ceil''.

	  Error	codes:
	  -1: Complex or nonnumeric input argument





  1.58.	 fopen



       [fnum] =	fopen(name,mode)
	fopen("filename",mode) opens a file and	returns
	  its identifier (integer). The	mode parameter can be
	  "r" or "w" for reading and writing, respectively.
	  If the open is not succesful,	-1 is returned.


       See also: ``fformat'', ``fclose''.

	  Error	codes:
	  -1: First arg	not a string
	  -2: Second arg not a string
	  -3: Too many open files
	  -4: Bad string for second arg





  1.59.	 format












  [] = format(str...)
   format("format-string",arg1,arg2,...) prints	"format-string"
     to	standard output, replacing occurrences of `format-spec`
     with consecutive args. `Format-spec` is either empty, i.e.	``,
     or	of the form

	 `[-]w[.d]`.

     Here w is the field width (unsigned integer) and d	is the number
     of	significant digits, also unsigned integer. By default the
     argument is printed left-justified, but the optional minus	sign
     dictates right justification. The backquote character `  can be
     produced by writing it three times: ```.

     Hint: You can add any number of spaces before the closing backquote,
     for example `20.7	  `.
     These spaces do not affect	the output. This feature can be	used
     to	justify	source code lines.

     Error codes:
     1:	First argument not a string or char





  1.60.	 fprintf



       [] = fprintf(fnum,formatstr...)
	fprintf(fnum,"format-string",arg1,arg2,...) is an interface to the C
	  fprintf function. The	format string should have a percent slot
	  for every arg. The args may be integer or real scalars or strings.
	  The file identifier fnum must	have been obtained from	fopen.

	  Notice: The stream is	not flushed after every	fprintf	operation,
	  but a	flush occurs whenever you switch from using fprintf to
	  fformat on the same file. Therefore avoid mixing fprintf and fformat
	  on the same file if performance is an	issue for you!

  1.75.	 import














  [] = import(filename)
   import("file") tries	to load	the contents of	"file" in Tela workspace.
     All files accepted	by load	are also accepted by import. In	addition,
     import accepts more general HDF files and MATLAB binary files.
     Create these files	using the MATLAB 'save'	command.

     Restrictions:
     1)	Only MATLAB files created on a similar architecture can	be
     correctly imported. If this rule is not followed, the imported
     data will be garbage!
     2)	MATLAB4.0 and higher saves arrays with more than 10000 elements
     as	various	integer	formats, if all	elements are whole numbers.
     Tela cannot read these files. A workaround	is to perturb one element
     in	MATLAB before saving so	that it	is not exactly integer.

     For filename conventions, see load.


  See also: ``load'', ``save'',	``import1'', ``export_matlab''.


     (The difference between import and	import1	is that	import1	reads
      only one object and returns it, whereas import reads several
	  objects and assigns them directly to workspace variables.)

     10: Bad Matlab binary file, premature end of file






  1.76.	 import1

























  [x] =	import1(filename; label)
   import1("file") reads one object from "file". The imported
     object is returned. "File"	can be one of the following:

     1)	HDF file, in which case	the first Scientific Data Set (SDS)
	is imported. The form import1("file.hdf","label") reads	SDS
	with label "label", which is not necessarily the first one.

     2)	D-style	ASCII file of the following format:

	  (line	1)   D=Nt dim1 dim2 ...	dimN
	  (any number M	of blank lines or lines	starting with '#')
	  (line	M+2) data1 data2 ....

	 where N is the	rank of	the dataset and	t is an	optionial
	 type specification letter: t may be either 'r', 'i', or 'c'
	 for real, integer and complex data, respectively. If t	is
	 missing, real data are	asssumed.

     3)	Plain ASCII file of nrows x ncols real numbers.	If nrows or
	ncols is 1, it will be returned	as a vector, otherwise as a
	matrix.	Missing	entries	are treated as zeros. This format
	is similar to Matlab's load for	ASCII, except that '#'
	comments are accepted in the beginning.

	  Each index argument may be a real scalar or real array.
	  All index arguments must mutually agree in type and rank.
	  The array A may also be complex. The result y	is of same
	  rank and size	as each	of the index arguments.

	  intpol(A,i,j,...) is a generalization	of mapped indexing
	  A<[i,j,...]> for non-integral	indices. The function benefits
	  from vectorization even more than most other Tela functions.

	  Currently intpol uses	linear interpolation.
	  Error	codes:

  1.88.	 isfinite



       [y] = isfinite(x)
	isfinite(x) returns 1 if x is a	finite number and 0 otherwise.

  1.102.  linsolve










  [x] =	linsolve(A,b)
   linsolve(A,b) solves	the linear system A**x == b.
     If	A is square, the result	x is roughly the same as
     computing inv(A)**b (however, using linsolve is
     faster and	numerically more accurate). If A is not
     square, a least-square problem is solved. If the system
     is	overdetermined,	the solution x minimizes the quantity
     |A**x - b|. If the	system is underdetermined, the
     solution x	minimizes |x| among all	x that satisfy
     A**x==b.
     The second	argument may be	a vector or a matrix.

  1.115.  matprod



       [C] = matprod(A,B; Aflag,Bflag)
	matprod(A,B) returns the matrix	product	of A and B.
	  If at	least one of A and B is	scalar,	matprod(A,B) is	the
	  same as their	ordinary product A*B. If both A	and B
	  are arrays, their "inner" dimensions must agree.
	  That is, the last dimension of A must	equal the first
	  dimension of B.
	  You can abbreviate matprod(A,B) as A**B.

	  Optional args: matprod(A,B,aflag,bflag) can be used to
	  transpose or Hermitian-conjugate the factors before the
	  product. 'n' means no	operation, 't' means transpose and
	  'h' means Hermitian conjugate. For example,

	  matprod(A,B,'h') = A'**B = herm(A)**B
	  matprod(A,B,'n','t') = A**B.'	= A**transpose(B)

	  Normally you need not	use matprod explicitly,	but you
	  can use the operator **, which is internally translated
	  to matprod. Hermitian	conjugates and transposes in
	  connection with ** produce the corresponding 'h' and
	  't' options in matprod. For example,

	  A'**B	       generates       matprod(A,B,'h')
	  A.'**B'      generates       matprod(A,B,'t','h')
	  A**B.'       generates       matprod(A,B,'n','t')

	  and so on. The runtime is optimal for	all these operations.

	y = tan(x) computes the	tangent	function of x.
	  If x is complex, the result is complex, otherwise real.
	  The argument must be in radians.
	  If x is an array, the	operation is applied componentwise.





  1.156.  tanh



       [y] = tanh(x)
	y = tanh(x) computes the hyperbolic tangent function of	x.
	  If x is complex, the result is complex, otherwise real.

  1.158.  tic



       [] = tic()
	tic() marks the	CPU time at which it was invoked.
	  To measure CPU time, use tic() and toc().


       See also: ``cputime'', ``toc''.

	  Example:

	     a = rand(100,100);	tic(); b=inv(a); toc()

	 This would measure the	CPU time in inverting a	100x100
	 random	real matrix. See also: toc.

  1.160.  tostring



       [y] = tostring(x)
	tostring(x) converts an	integer	vector to a string.
	  Transfer of characters is stopped if zero element
	  is encountered.
	  tostring(A) where A is geneeral integer array	copies
	  A and	sets the string	flag.
	  Error	codes:
	  -1: Argument not an integer array








  1.161.  transpose



       [B] = transpose(A; P)
	B = transpose(A) returns a transpose of	array A: B[i,j,k...l] =	A[l...k,j,i].
	  B = transpose(A,P) where P is	integer	vector transposes the indices in the
	  permutation defined by P.
	  For example if A has rank 3, B = transpose(A,[2,1,3])	causes the assignment
	  B[j,i,k] = A[i,j,k] to be carried out. B = transpose(A) would	in this	case
	  correspond to	B[k,j,i] = A[i,j,k].

	  You can abbreviate "transpose(A)" by "A.'".

	hide("sym-name",...) unsets the	'hidden' attribute to
	  specified symbols.


       See also: ``whos'', ``hide''.

	  Error	codes:
	  1: Argument not a string
	  2: Argument does not name a symbol






  1.163.  version



       [x] = version()
	version() returns the Tela version number (real) currently
	  in use.





  1.164.  vplot







  [] = vplot(x,y,vx,vy...)
   vplot(x,y,vx,vy[,options]) produces a 2D vector plot	of the vector
     field (vx,vy). All	arguments x,y,vx and vy	must be	2D integer or
     real arrays and of	the same size. Each 2D vector will be positioned
     at	(x[i,j],y[i,j])	and its	direction will be (vx[i,j],vy[i,j]) where
     (i,j) run over rows and columns of	the matrices.
