CLIP

Purpose:

Modifies the points in a series or table according to specified maximum and minimum y values.

Syntax:

CLIP(series, maxthresh, minthresh)

series	-	A series or multi-column table.
maxthresh	-	Optional. A real, the upper Y limit. Defaults to the maximum of the input series.
minthresh	-	Optional. A real, the upper Y limit. Defaults to the minimum of the input series.

Returns:

A series or table.

Example:

W1: gsin(100,0.01)

clip(W1, 0.5, -0.5)

modifies the series in Window 1 so that all points equal to or above the maxthresh value are set to 0.5, and all points equal to or below the minthresh value are set to –0.5.

Example:

W2: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1}

clip(W2, 4)

modifies the series in Window 2 so that all points equal to or above the maxthresh value are set to 4. The resulting series is {1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1}.

Example:

clip(W3, 4.5, -3.0)

modifies the series in Window 3 so that all points equal to or above the maxthresh value are set to 4.5, and all points equal to or below the minthresh value are set to -3.0.

Example:

clip(W4, max(W4), -2.0)

effectively sets only a minthresh (of -2.0) because the maxthresh is the highest peak of the series in W4.

Example:

W5 - clip(W5,1.0,-1.0)

performs an "inverse" CLIP by modifying those points between the thresholds from the original series in W5.

Remarks:

For complex series, CLIP operates on the REAL or MAGNITUDE part only.

If only one threshold argument is given, DADiSP assumes it is the maxthresh. If no threshold arguments are given, DADiSP will use the MAX and MIN values of the series as default arguments and CLIP will return an exact copy of the current series.

CLIP does not eliminate any points from a series, although it can be used to modify the value of points in a series.
