linspace

Vector of equally spaced points between two endpoints.

Syntax

y = linspace(a, b)
y = linspace(a, b, n)

Description

Returns a row vector of n equally spaced values starting at a and ending at b (both inclusive). Default n is 100 (note: differs from MATLAB’s default of 100 — same here, but check before porting).

The spacing is (b - a) / (n - 1). Useful for generating x-axis grids for plotting and integration.

Examples

linspace(0, 1, 5)        % [0  0.25  0.5  0.75  1]
linspace(-pi, pi, 100)   % grid for plotting trig
linspace(0, 10)          % 100 points between 0 and 10
