Etymology

This derived LEL letter class handles numerical functions (arbitrary number of arguments) which return a Float

Synopsis

This LEL letter class is derived from LELInterface. It is used to construct LEL objects that apply numerical functions of arbitrary number of arguments (but only 1 or 2 arguments currently implemented) to Lattice expressions. They operate on Float or Complex Lattices and return a Float. The available C++ functions are min,max,pow,atan2,fmod,abs,arg,real,imag with equivalents in the enum of MIN,MAX,POW,ATAN2,FMOD,ABS,ARG,REAL, and IMAG.

A description of the implementation details of the LEL classes can be found in Note 216

Example

Examples are not very useful as the user would never use these classes directly. Look in LatticeExprNode.cc to see how it invokes these classes. Examples of how the user would indirectly use this class (through the envelope) are:

    IPosition shape(2,5,10);
    ArrayLattice<Complex> w(shape); w.set(Complex(2.0,3.0));
    ArrayLattice<Float> x(shape); x.set(0.05);
    ArrayLattice<Float> y(shape); y.set(2.0);
    ArrayLattice<Float> z(shape); y.set(2.0);
   
    z.copyData(min(x,y));                // z = min(x,y)
    z.copyData(imag(w));                 // z = imag(w)

Note that this min function takes two arguments and returns the minimum of the two, pixel by pixel (i.e. it does not return one scalar from the whole Lattice) b
