SYNOPSIS

xy_convert(slope,intercept,x,n) # A linear conversion

   real       :: slope
   real       :: intercept
   real       :: x(*)
   integer    :: n

DESCRIPTION

used to do a fast conversion of an entire set of data instead of reparsing the text over and over with the math command. A linear conversion is very common for such operations as unit conversion.

Allows +-*/
	operations on a dataset after operations have been performed. Does a conversion of the form

          y=mx+b

where

          the slope is m
          the y-intercept is b

if the intercept is left off, it defaults to a value of 0.

EXAMPLES

Showing usage from ush(1):

   math c[4] -o xy_convert(1,40) xy_convert(9/5,-40)
   # equivalent to but faster than
   # math  (c[4]+40)*9/5-40 # xy_convert Centigrade to Fahrenheit
