CLIP

Returns an MxNumvals matrix of values extracted from an MxN matrix, where:
Output[I,1] = A[I,Start]
Output[I,Numvals] = A[I,Start+Numvals-1]
The following conditions apply to the equations above:
I=1 to M
1 < Start < N
Numvals < (N-Start+1)

Format

CLIP (A, Start, Numvals)

Arguments

 
A
An MxN matrix of real values.
Start
The index to the first column of values to be included in the output.
Numvals
The number of columns to be included in the output.

Example

The following example illustrates the use of the CLIP function:
 
Function
CLIP( {[8, 10], [12,14], [16, 18]} , 1 ,1 )
Result
8, 12, 16
