     This function has been renamed 'ascii' (note double i at the end of
     its name) and will be removed from future versions of the
     miscellaneous package.  Please refer to 'ascii' help text for its
     documentation.

     Print ASCII table.

     If this function is called without any input argument and without
     any output argument then prints a nice ASCII-table (excluding
     special characters with hexcode 0x00 to 0x20).  The input argument
     COLUMNS specifies the number of columns and defaults to 4.

     If it is called with one output argument then return the ASCII
     table as a string without displaying anything.  Run 'demo ascii'
     for examples.

 -- Function File: COEFS= chebyshevpoly (KIND,ORDER,X)

     Compute the coefficients of the Chebyshev polynomial, given the
     ORDER.  We calculate the Chebyshev polynomial using the recurrence
     relations Tn+1(x) = (2*x*Tn(x) - Tn-1(x)).  The KIND can be set to
     compute the first or second kind Chebyshev polynomial.

     If the value X is specified, the polynomial is evaluated at X,
     otherwise just the coefficients of the polynomial are returned.

     This is NOT the generalized Chebyshev polynomial.

# type: sq_string
# elements: 1
# length: 1003
 -- Function File: RESULT = match ( FUN_HANDLE, ITERABLE )
     match is filter, like Lisp's ( & numerous other language's )
     function for Python has a built-in filter function which takes two
     arguments, a function and a list, and returns a list.  'match'
     performs the same operation like filter in Python.  The match
     applies the function to each of the element in the ITERABLE and
     collects that the result of a function applied to each of the data
     structure's elements in turn, and the return values are collected
     as a list of input arguments, whenever the function-result is
     'true' in Octave sense.  Anything (1,true,?)  evaluating to true,
     the argument is saved into the return value.

     FUN_HANDLE can either be a function name string or a function
     handle (recommended).

     Typically you can use it as,
          match(@(x) ( x >= 1 ), [-1 0 1 2])
                =>   1   2

     If two arguments are given, they are interpreted as follows.

          publish (FILENAME, [OPTION, VALUE, ...])

     The following options are available:

        * format

          the only available format values are the strings 'latex' and
          'html'.

        * imageFormat:

          string that specifies the image format, valid formats are
          'pdf', 'png', and 'jpg'(or 'jpeg').

        * showCode:

          boolean value that specifies if the source code will be
          included in the report.

        * evalCode:

          boolean value that specifies if execution results will be
          included in the report.

     Default OPTIONS

        * format = latex

        * imageFormat = pdf

        * showCode = 1

        * evalCode = 1

     Remarks

        * Any additional non-valid field is removed without
          notification.

        * To include several figures in the resulting report you must
          use figure with a unique number for each one of them.

        * You do not have to save the figures manually, publish will do
          it for you.

        * The functions works only for the current path and no way ...
          to specify other path is allowed.

     Assume you have the script 'myscript.m' which looks like

          x = 0:0.1:pi;

 -- Function File: X = reduce (FUNCTION, SEQUENCE,INITIALIZER)
 -- Function File: X = reduce (FUNCTION, SEQUENCE)
     Implements the 'reduce' operator like in Lisp, or Python.  Apply
     function of two arguments cumulatively to the items of sequence,
     from left to right, so as to reduce the sequence to a single value.
     For example, reduce(@(x,y)(x+y), [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) calculates
     ((((1+2)+3)+4)+5).  The left argument, x, is the accumulated value
     and the right argument, y, is the update value from the sequence.
     If the optional initializer is present, it is placed before the
     items of the sequence in the calculation, and serves as a default
     when the sequence is empty.  If initializer is not given and
     sequence contains only one item, the first item is returned.

           reduce(@add,[1:10])

 -- Function File: textable (MATRIX)
 -- Function File: textable (MATRIX, PARAMS, ...)
     Save MATRIX in LaTeX format (tabular or array).

     The input matrix must be numeric and two dimensional.

     The generated LaTeX source can be saved directly to a file with the
     option 'file'.  The file can then be inserted in any latex document
     by using the '\input{latex file name without .tex}' statement.

     Available parameters are:
        * 'file': filename to save the generated LaTeX source.  Requires
          a string as value.
        * 'rlines': display row lines.
        * 'clines': display column lines.
        * 'align': column alignment.  Valid values are 'l', 'c' and 'r'
          for center, left and right (default).
        * 'math': create table in array environment inside displaymath
          environment.  It requires a string as value which will be the
          name of the matrix.

     The basic usage is to generate the source for a table without lines
     and right alignment (default values):
          textable (data)
              =>
                 \begin{tabular}{rrr}
                     0.889283 & 0.949328 & 0.205663 \\
                     0.225978 & 0.426528 & 0.189561 \\
                     0.245896 & 0.466162 & 0.225864 \\
                 \end{tabular}

     Alternatively, the source can be saved directly into a file:
          textable (data, "file", "data.tex");

     The appearance of the table can be controled with switches and key
     values.  The following generates a table with both row and column
     lines (rlines and clines), and center alignment:
          textable (data, "rlines", "clines", "align", "c")
              =>
                 \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
                     \hline
                     0.889283 & 0.949328 & 0.205663 \\
                     \hline
                     0.225978 & 0.426528 & 0.189561 \\
                     \hline
                     0.245896 & 0.466162 & 0.225864 \\
                     \hline
                 \end{tabular}

     Finnally, for math mode, it is also possible to place the matrix in
     an array environment and name the matrix:
          textable (data, "math", "matrix-name")
              =>
                 \begin{displaymath}
                   \mathbf{matrix-name} =
                   \left(
                   \begin{array}{*{ 3 }{rrr}}
                     0.889283 & 0.949328 & 0.205663 \\
                     0.225978 & 0.426528 & 0.189561 \\
                     0.245896 & 0.466162 & 0.225864 \\
                   \end{array}
                   \right)
                 \end{displaymath}

     Return the conversion factor from FROMUNIT to TOUNIT measurements.

     This is an octave interface to the *GNU Units* program which comes
     with an annotated, extendable database defining over two thousand
     measurement units.  See 'man units' or
     <http://www.gnu.org/software/units> for more information.  If the
     optional argument X is supplied, return that argument multiplied by
     the conversion factor.  For example, to convert three values from
     miles per hour into meters per second:

 -- Function File: zagzig (MTRX)
     Returns zagzig walk-off of the elements of MTRX.  Essentially it
     walks the matrix in a Z-fashion.

     mat = 1 4 7 2 5 8 3 6 9 then zagzag(mat) gives the output, [1 4 2 3
     5 7 8 6 9], by walking as shown in the figure from pt 1 in that
     order of output.  The argument MTRX should be a MxN matrix.  One
     use of zagzig the use with picking up DCT coefficients like in the
     JPEG algorithm for compression.

     An example of zagzig use:
          mat = reshape(1:9,3,3);
          zagzag(mat)
          ans =[1 4 2 3 5 7 8 6 9]
