alibRepArray
Replicates an array along one or more dimensions. The API is aimed at four basic vector or matrix operations, but depending on parameter interpretation, these same basic memory manipulations can represent n-dimensional tiling or stretching in any direction. Common uses of this routine are:
*Concatenates or interleave a vector with itself multiple times.
*Tiles a matrix or n-dimensional array with a vector along any one of its dimensions.
*Vertically or horizontally concatenates a matrix with itself multiple times.
*Tiles a three-dimensional or n-dimensional array with a matrix along any pair of its dimensions.
*Vertically or horizontally stretches a two-dimensional or three-dimensional array, e.g., an image.
*Tiles an n-dimensional array with an m-dimensional array along any m of its dimensions.
*Stretches an n-dimensional array in any direction.
The PV-WAVE API for this routine is the REBIN Function with the Sample keyword.

Parameters
d — (Input) An integer specifying which one of the four basic types of memory manipulation are to be performed. The four cases are described below, where values m, n, p, and q are the same as in the prototypes.
*d=0 aims the API at concatenation of a vector with itself multiple times, but depending on parameter interpretation, this memory manipulation can also represent the replication of an n-dimensional array along leading dimensions up to and including its first nondegenerate dimension. Common examples for mode d=0:
*Concatenates m-element vector p with itself n times and puts the result in q.
*Tiles (n,m) matrix q with (1,m) row-vector p.
*Tiles (n0,n1,m) array q with (1,1,m) row-vector p, where n0*n1=n.
*Tiles (n*m0,m1) matrix q with (m0,m1) matrix p, where m0*m1=m.
*Tiles (n,m0,m1) array q with (1,m0,m1) matrix p, where m0*m1=m.
*Tiles (n*m0,m1,m2) array q with (m0,m1,m2) array p, where m0*m1*m2=m.
*Tiles (n,m0,m1,m2) array q with (1,m0,m1,m2) array p, where m0*m1*m2=m.
*d=1 aims the API at interleaving a vector with itself multiple times, but depending on parameter interpretation, this memory manipulation can also represent the replication an n-dimensional array along trailing degenerate dimensions, i.e., along trailing dimensions of length 1. Furthermore, replication along a trailing degenerate dimension can instead be interpreted as a stretch along the trailing nondegenerate dimension. Common examples for mode d=1:
*Interleaves m-element vector p with itself n times and puts the result in q.
*Tiles (m,n) matrix q with (m,1) column-vector p.
*Tiles (m,n0,n1) array q with (m,1,1) column-vector p, where n0*n1=n.
*Tiles (m0,m1,n) array q with (m0,m1,1) matrix p, where m0*m1=m.
*Equivalently, stretches (m0,m1) matrix p into (m0,n*m1) matrix q.
*Tiles (m0,m1,m2,n) array q with (m0,m1,m2,1) array p, where m0*m1*m2=m.
*Equivalently, stretches (m0,m1,m2) array p into (m0,m1,n*m2) array q.
*d>1 aims the API at a composite of the previous two cases, i.e., at d-fold concatenation of interleavings, but depending on the parameter interpretation, this memory manipulation can also represent replication of an n-dimensional array along leading dimensions up to and including its first nondegenerate dimension and along trailing degenerate dimensions. Although mode d>1 subsumes the previous two modes, the others are more efficient for the restricted cases. Common examples for mode d>1:
*d-fold concatenation of n-fold interleaving of m-element vector p.
*Tiles (d,m,n) array q with a (1,m,1) vector p.
*Tiles (d,m0,m1,n) array q with (1,m0,m1,1) matrix p, where m0*m1=m.
*d<0 aims the API at the |d|-fold horizontal concatenation of a matrix with itself, but depending on parameter interpretation, this memory manipulation can also represent replication or stretch of an n-dimensional array along any dimension. Replicating along a dimension is equivalent to stretching the prior dimension. Mode d<0 subsumes the other modes, but these other modes are computationally more efficient for their own restricted cases, so mode d<0 should be used only for replication along an intermediate or trailing nondegenerate dimension or for stretching along a non-trailing dimension. Common examples for mode d<0:
*Tiles (m,|d|*n) matrix q with (m,n) matrix p.
*Equivalently, stretches (m,n) matrix p into (|d|*m,n) matrix q.
*Tiles (m,|d|,n) array q with (m,1,n) matrix p.
*Tiles (m,|d|*n0,n1) array q with (m,n0,n1) array p, where n0*n1=n.
*Equivalently, stretches (m,n0,n1) array p into (|d|*m,n0,n1) array q.
*Tiles (m0,m1,|d|*n) array q with (m0,m1,n) array p, where m0*m1=m.
*Equivalently, stretches (m0,m1,n) array p into (m0,|d|*m1,n) array q.
m — (Input) For modes d=0, d=1, and d>1, m is the number of elements in the source array. For mode d<0, m is the product of all dimensions preceding the concatenation dimension, or the product of all dimensions preceding and including the stretch dimension. See examples above.
n — (Input) For modes d=0 and d=1, n is the number of elements in the destination array divided by m. For modes d>1 and d<0, n is the number of elements in the destination array divided by the product m*|d|. See examples above.
*p — (Input) The source array. For modes d=0, d=1, and d>1, array p has m elements. For mode d<0, array p has m*n elements.
*q — (Input/Output) Destination array. For modes d=0 and d=1, array q has m*n elements. For modes d>1 and d<0, array q has m*n*|d| elements.
