SYNOPSIS
subroutine scale1(xmin, xmax, n, xminp, xmaxp, dist) 

   real,intent(in)      :: xmin, xmax
   integer,intent(in)   :: n
   real,intent(out)     :: xminp, xmaxp, dist

DESCRIPTION

Find new range divisible into approximately n linear intervals using "CACM Algorithm 463 scale1". Typically used to find nice ranges for axis scales.

EXAMPLE
Sample program 

    program demo_scale1
    use M_math, only : scale1
    implicit none
    real :: start, end
    real :: xminp, xmaxp, dist
    integer :: intervals
    intervals=5
    write(*,*)’Enter start and end values’
    do
      read(*,*,end=999)start,end
      call scale1(start,end,intervals,xminp,xmaxp,dist)
      write(*,’(a,g0,a,g0,a,i0,a,g0)’) &
              & ’nice range is ’,xminp,’ to ’,xmaxp,’ by ’, &
              & nint((xmaxp-xminp)/dist),’ intervals of ’,dist
    enddo
    999 continue
    end program demo_scale1
Example output 

    printf ’3 87 \n 0.1 2.3 \n -20 30|demo_scale1
     Enter start and end values
    nice range is 0.00000000 to 100.000000 by 5 intervals of 20.0000000
    nice range is 0.00000000 to 2.50000000 by 5 intervals of 0.500000000
    nice range is -20.0000000 to 30.0000000 by 5 intervals of 10.0000000
