SINDGEN Function

Returns a string array with the specified dimensions.

result = SINDGEN(dim₁, ... , dim_n)

dim_i The dimensions of the result. This may be any scalar expression and up to eight dimensions may be specified.

result An initialized string array. If the resulting array is treated as a one-dimensional array, then its initialization is given by the following:

None.

Each element of the array is set to the string representation of the value of its one-dimensional subscript, using the default formatting rules of PV-WAVE. These rules are described in Free Format Output in Chapter 8 of the PV-WAVE Programmer's Guide.

This example creates a 4-by-2 string array.

a = SINDGEN(4, 2)

; Create the string array.
