Description

Generate linearly spaced vectors.

Usage

linspace(a, b, n=100)

Value

Returns vector containing containing n points linearly spaced between a and b inclusive. If \(\code{n} < 2\), the result will be the ending point b.

Arguments

numeric scalar specifying starting point

b

numeric scalar specifying ending point

n

numeric scalar specifying number of points to be generated

Details

Similar to colon operator but gives direct control over the number of points. Note also that although MATLAB doesn't specifically document this, the number of points generated is actually floor(n).
