WaveMinAndMax

WaveMinAndMax (wave [, x1, x2])​

The WaveMinAndMax function returns the minimum and maximum values in the wave for points between x=x1 to x=x2, inclusive.

WaveMinAndMax must be called from a function, not from the command line, because it uses multiple return syntax as shown in the example below.

WaveMinAndMax was added in Igor Pro 9.00.

Details​

If x1 and x2 are omitted, they default to -inf and +inf.

The X scaling of the wave is used only to locate the points nearest to x=x1 and x=x2. To use point indexing, replace x1 with "pnt2x(wave,pointNumber1)", and a similar expression for x2. The resulting point numbers are clipped to the range 0..n where n is the numpnts(wave )-1.

NaN values in the wave are ignored.

Example​

Function DemoWaveMinAndMax()

	Make/FREE wave0 = p

	wave0[0] = NaN	// NaN values are ignored

	SetScale/P x, 0, 0.1, "s", wave0

	double minValue, maxValue

	

	[minValue, maxValue] = WaveMinAndMax(wave0)

	Printf "Entire wave: min=%g, max=%g\r", minValue, maxValue



	[minValue, maxValue] = WaveMinAndMax(wave0, 5, 10)

	Printf "From x=5 to x=10: min=%g, max=%g\r", minValue, maxValue

End
