IDXTOY

Purpose:

Converts index values of a series to Y values.

Syntax:

IDXTOY(series, idx)

series

-

An input series

idx

-

An integer or a series of integers. The indices where valid indices range from SPL_START_INDEX (usually 1) to length(s).

Returns:

A real or series.

Example:

W1: 1..0.1..10

W2: idxtoy(W1, 1..5)

 

W2 contains the series {1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4}, the first 5 Y values of W1.

Remarks:

Indices start at 1 unless STARTINDEX is invoked or the SPL_START_INDEX configuration parameter is set.

 

For interval, XY or XYZ series, the indices are looked up and the closest matches are returned.

 

For 2D interval series, the Y values are computed as follows:

 

y = (idx - start) * deltay(s) + yoffset(s)

 

where start is the value of STARTINDEX or SPL_START_INDEX (usually 1).
