Clip
Advanced Analysis Library Only
AnalysisLibErrType Clip (double inputArray[], ssize_t numberOfElements, double upperLimit, double lowerLimit, double outputArray[]);
Purpose
Clips each element of the array between the specified upper and lower limits.
Clip obtains the ith element of the resulting array using the following formula:

If upperLimit is less than lowerLimit, Clip returns an error code. This operation can be performed in place; that is, the input and output arrays can be the same.
The following example uses the Clip function.
double inputData[10], clippedData[10];
double lowerLimit, upperLimit;
AnalysisLibErrType status;
// Generate an array of random numbers
status = Uniform (10, 17, inputData);
lowerLimit = 0.2;
upperLimit = 0.7;
status = Clip (inputData, 10, upperLimit, lowerLimit, clippedData);
Parameters
Input | ||
Name | Type | Description |
inputArray | double [] | Input array whose values are clipped. |
numberOfElements | ssize_t | Number of elements in to clip. |
upperLimit | double | Upper limit for the clipping operation. Array elements greater than this value are set equal to this value. Default Value: 1.0. |
lowerLimit | double | Lower limit for the clipping operation. Array elements less than this value are set equal to this value. Default Value: 0.0. |
Output | ||
Name | Type | Description |
outputArray | double [] | Clipped array. |
Return Value
Name | Type | Description |
status | AnalysisLibErrType | A value that specifies the type of error that occurred. Refer to analysis.h for definitions of these constants. |
