laguerre

 
             laguerre(a,x)  
  
     Given the coefficients a(1:m+1) of the m'th degree  
     complex polynomial Sum(a(i)*x^(i-1)) and a guess x, returns a root.  
     See Numerical Recipes (Press, et. al., Cambridge Univ. Press 1988),  
     section 9.5.

lcm

 
             lcm(a,b)  
  
     returns the LCM (least common multiple) of A and B, which must  
     be one of the integer data types.  A and B may be conformable  
     arrays; the semantics of the lcm call are the same as any other  
     binary operation.  
     The absolute values of A and B are taken before the operation  
     commences; if either A or B is 0, the return value will be 0.

legndr

 
             legndr(l,m, x)  
  
     return the associated Legendre function Plm(x).  The X may  
     be an array (-1<=x<=1), but L and M (0<=M<=L) must be scalar  
     values.  For m=0, these are the Legendre polynomials Pl(x).  
     Relation of Plm(x) to Pl(x):  
       Plm(x) = (-1)^m (1-x^2)^(m/2) d^m/dx^m(Pl(x))  
     Relation of Plm(x) to spherical harmonics Ylm:

light3

 
             light3, ambient=a_level,  
                     diffuse=d_level,  
  
		    specular=s_level,  
		    spower=n,  
		    sdir=xyz  
     Sets lighting properties for 3D shading effects.  
     A surface will be shaded according to its to its orientation  
     relative to the viewing direction.  
  
     The ambient level A_LEVEL is a light level (arbitrary units)  
     that is added to every surface independent of its orientation.  
  
     The diffuse level D_LEVEL is a light level which is proportional  
     to cos(theta), where theta is the angle between the surface  
     normal and the viewing direction, so that surfaces directly  
     facing the viewer are bright, while surfaces viewed edge on are  
     unlit (and surfaces facing away, if drawn, are shaded as if they  
     faced the viewer).  
  
     The specular level S_LEVEL is a light level proportional to a high  
     power spower=N of 1+cos(alpha), where alpha is the angle between  
     the specular reflection angle and the viewing direction.  The light  
     source for the calculation of alpha lies in the direction XYZ (a  
     3 element vector) in the viewer's coordinate system at infinite  
     distance.  You can have ns light sources by making S_LEVEL, N, and  
     XYZ (or any combination) be vectors of length ns (3-by-ns in the  
     case of XYZ).  (See source code for specular_hook function  
     definition if powers of 1+cos(alpha) aren't good enough for you.)  
  
     With no arguments, return to the default lighting.  
  
   EXAMPLES:  
     light3, diffuse=.1, specular=1., sdir=[0,0,-1]  
       (dramatic "tail lighting" effect)  
     light3, diffuse=.5, specular=1., sdir=[1,.5,1]  
       (classic "over your right shoulder" lighting)  
     light3, ambient=.1,diffuse=.1,specular=1.,  
             sdir=[[0,0,-1],[1,.5,1]],spower=[4,2]  
       (two light sources combining previous effects)

lightwf

 
             lightwf, cmax  
  
     Sets the cmax= parameter interactively, assuming the current  
     3D display list contains the result of a previous plwf call.  
     This changes the color of the brightest surface in the picture.  
     The darkest surface color can be controlled using the ambient=  
     keyword to light3.

limit3

 
             limit3, xmin,xmax, ymin,ymax  
          or limit3, xmin,xmax, ymin,ymax, zmin,zmax  
  
     Set the 3D axis limits for use with the cage.  
     Use keyword aspect=[ax,ay,az] to set the aspect ratios of the  
     cage to ax:ay:az -- that is, the ratios of the lengths of the  
     cage axes will become ax:ay:az.

limits

 
             limits  
          or limits, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax,  
  
	            square=0/1, nice=0/1, restrict=0/1  
	 or old_limits= limits()  
	 or limits, old_limits  
  
     In the first form, restores all four plot limits to extreme values.  
  
     In the second form, sets the plot limits in the current coordinate  
     system to XMIN, XMAX, YMIN, YMAX, which may be nil or omitted to  
     leave the corresponding limit unchanged, a number to fix the  
     corresponding limit to a specified value, or the string "e" to  
     make the corresponding limit take on the extreme value of the  
     currently displayed data.  
  
     If present, the square keyword determines whether limits marked  
     as extreme values will be adjusted to force the x and y scales  
     to be equal (square=1) or not (square=0, the default).  
     If present, the nice keyword determines whether limits will be  
     adjusted to nice values (nice=1) or not (nice=0, the default).  
     There is a subtlety in the meaning of "extreme value" when one  
     or both of the limits on the OPPOSITE axis have fixed values --  
     does the "extreme value" of the data include points which  
     will not be plotted because their other coordinate lies outside  
     the fixed limit on the opposite axis (restrict=0, the default),  
     or not (restrict=1)?  
  
     If called as a function, limits returns an array of 5 doubles;  
     OLD_LIMITS(1:4) are the current xmin, xmax, ymin, and ymax,  
     and int(OLD_LIMITS(5)) is a set of flags indicating extreme  
     values and the square, nice, restrict, and log flags.  
  
     In the fourth form, OLD_LIMITS is as returned by a previous  
     limits call, to restore the limits to a previous state.  
  
     In an X window, the limits may also be adjusted interactively  
     with the mouse.  Drag left to zoom in and pan (click left to zoom  
     in on a point without moving it), drag middle to pan, and click  
     (and drag) right to zoom out (and pan).  If you click just above  
     or below the plot, these operations will be restricted to the  
     x-axis; if you click just to the left or right, the operations  
     are restricted to the y-axis.  A shift-left click, drag, and  
     release will expand the box you dragged over to fill the plot  
     (other popular software zooms with this paradigm).  If the  
     rubber band box is not visible with shift-left zooming, try  
     shift-middle or shift-right for alternate XOR masks.  Such  
     mouse-set limits are equivalent to a limits command specifying  
     all four limits EXCEPT that the unzoom command can revert to  
     the limits before a series of mouse zooms and pans.  
  
     The limits you set using the limits or range functions carry over  
     to the next plot -- that is, an fma operation does NOT reset the  
     limits to extreme values.

ln_gamma

     Error is less than 2.e-10 for real part of z>=1.  
     Use lngamma if you know that all z>=1, or if you don't care much about  
     accuracy for z<1.

logxy

 
             logxy, xflag, yflag

     corresponding axis scaling unchanged, 0 to select linear scaling,  
     or 1 to select log scaling.
