R: MATLAB linspace function

linspace {matlab} | R Documentation

## MATLAB linspace function

### Description

Generate linearly spaced vectors.

### Usage

    linspace(a, b, n=100)

### Arguments

`a` | 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)`.

### 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`.
