             baget(file, varname)  
 
     read and return the (first) variable named VARNAME in FILE.  
     The obasis function opens files read-only.  If you want to update  
     a PFB Basis-generated PDB file without altering its "@decorated"  
     variable names, open the file with updateb, then use baset to  
     modify variables.  Since you can only change the entire variable  
     with baset, you may want to read it first with baget.  
interpreted function, defined at i/basfix.i   line 97  

             baset, file, varname, value  
 
     set the (first) variable named VARNAME in FILE to VALUE.

             batch, 1  
             batch, 0  
             batch()  
 
     turns on, turns off, or tests for batch mode, respectively.  
     If yorick is started with the command line:  
        yorick -batch batch_include.i ...  
     then batch mode is turned on, the usual custom.i startup file is  
     skipped, and the file batch_include.i is parsed and executed.  The  
     -batch and batch_include.i command line arguments are removed from  
     the list returned by get_argv().  These must be the first two  
     arguments on the command line.  
     In batch mode, any error will terminate Yorick (as by the quit  
     function) rather than entering debug mode.  Also, any attempt to  
     read from the keyboard is an error.

             best_rays(rays)  
 
     returns 5-element (x,y,z,theta,phi) representation of RAYS.  
     The first dimension of RAYS may be length 3, 5, or 6 to represent  
     the ray(s) in TDG/DIRT coordinates (x,y,theta), "best" coordinates  
     (x,y,z,theta,phi), or internal coordinates (cos,sin,y,z,x,r),  
     respectively.  The first dimension of the result always has length 5.  
     The "best" coordinate system is the easiest to visualize:  
     (x,y,z) represents any point on the ray, while (theta,phi)  
     represents the ray direction in standard spherical coordinates  
     relative to the +z-axis.  Namely, theta is the angle from the  
     +z-direction to the ray direction (between 0 and pi), and phi is  
     the counterclockwise angle from the +x-axis to the projection of  
     the ray direction into the xy-plane, assuming xyz is a right-handed  
     coordinate system.  
     As a specification of a ray, this system is doubly redundant because  
     the point (x,y,z) could be any point on the ray, and the underlying  
     mesh through which the ray propagates is cylindrically symmetric about  
     the z-axis.  
     However, the slimits parameter -- used to specify the points along  
     a ray where the transport integration starts and stops -- is  
     measured from the point (x,y,z) specified as a part of the  
     (x,y,z,theta,phi) ray coordinate.  Thus, any change in the point  
     (x,y,z) on a ray must be accompanied by a corresponding change in  
     the slimits for that ray.

             beta(z,w)  
 
     returns the beta function gamma(z)gamma(w)/gamma(z+w)  
interpreted function, defined at i/gamma.i   line 74  

             betai(a, b, x)  
 
    return I_x(a,x) = int[0 to x]{ du * u^(a-1)*(1-u)^(b-1) } / beta(a,b)  
    the incomplete beta function  
    
    betai(a,b,x) = 1 - betai(b,a,1-x)  
    
    Note that Student's t-distribution is  
      A(t|nu) = 1 - betai(0.5*nu,0.5, nu/(nu+t^2))  
    The F-distribution is  
      Q(F|nu1,nu2) = betai(0.5*nu2,0.5*nu1, nu2/(nu2+F*nu1))

             backup, f  
          or bmark= bookmark(f)  
             ...  
             backup, f, bmark  
 
     back up the text stream F, so that the next call to the read  
     function returns the same line as the previous call to read  
     (note that you can only back up one line).  If the optional  
     second argument BMARK is supplied, restores the state of the  
     file F to its state at the time the bookmark function was  
     called.  
     After a matching failure in read, use the single argument form  
     of backup to reread the line containing the matching failure.

             map= bowtie(rt, zt)  
          or map= bowtie(rt, zt, ireg)  
 
     returns a "bowtie map" for the quadrilateral mesh defined by  
     RT, ZT, and (optionally) IREG.  If IREG is present, it should be  
     an integer array of the same dimensions as RT and ZT; its first  
     row and column are ignored, otherwise each non-zero element of  
     IREG marks an existing zone in the mesh.  (An IREG with one fewer  
     row and column than RT and ZT will also be accepted.)  If IREG  
     is omitted, every zone is presumed to exist.  
     The returned MAP is a 2-D integer array with one fewer row and  
     column than RT and ZT.  It's values have the following meanings:  
          2   marks a convex zone with positive area  
          1   marks a concave (boomerang) zone with positive area  
          0   marks a bowtied zone  
         -1   marks a concave (boomerang) zone with negative area  
         -2   marks a convex zone with negative area  
         -9   marks a non-existent zone  
     Use the nbow function to print the results.  
interpreted function, defined at i/bowtie.i   line 11  

             brighten, factor  
          or brighten  
 
     brighten the current palette by the specified FACTOR.  
     The FACTOR is the slope of the transfer function for the color value  
     (see to_hsv for a description of the hsv color system); a value of  
     1.0 always remains 1.0, but values near 0.0 change by FACTOR.  
     FACTOR= 1.0 is a no-op.  The default factor is 4.0.

             y= bs_integrate(derivative, y1, x, epsilon, dx1)  
 
     Bulirsch-Stoer integrator, otherwise identical to rk_integrate  
     routine. All of the options for rk_integrate work here as well.  
     Based on odeint from Numerical Recipes (Press, et.al.).  
     If the function you are trying to integrate is not very  
     smooth, or your X values are closely spaced, rk_integrate  
     will probably work better than bs_integrate.  
interpreted function, defined at i/rkutta.i   line 252  

            T  bsplit  splits tensor tens into vectors defining the  
 
    unit sub tensors; works in dimensions 1 to 5.

interpreted function, defined at i/rkutta.i   line 293  

             y1= bstoer(derivative, y0,x0, x1,epsilon, dx0)  
 
     Bulirsch-Stoer integrator, otherwise identical to rkutta routine.  
     All of the options for rkutta (rk_nstore, etc.) work here as well.  
     If the function you are trying to integrate is not very  
     smooth, rkutta will probably work better than bstoer.

 bucky  
 
  
interpreted function, defined at i/plato.i   line 76  

             build_dimlist, dimlist, next_argument  
 
     build a DIMLIST, as used in the array function.  Use like this:  
     func your_function(arg1, arg2, etc, dimlist, ..)  
     {  
       while (more_args()) build_dimlist, dimlist, next_arg();  
       ...  
     }  
     After this, DIMLIST will be an array of the form  
     [#dims, dim1, dim2, ...], compounded from the multiple arguments  
     in the same way as the array function.  If no DIMLIST arguments  
     given, DIMLIST will be [] instead of [0], which will act the  
     same in most situations.  If that possibility is unacceptible,  
     you may add  
       if (is_void(dimlist)) dimlist= [0];  
     after the while loop.

             butter(np, w)  
          or butter(np, w, wc, db)  
 
     return frequency response (amplitude) for Butterworth filter;  
     the parameters are the same as for fil_butter.  
interpreted function, defined at i/filter.i   line 565  

             button_build(button)  
 
       -or- button_build(button, which)  
     Returns a Button structure instance, modified interactively to be at  
     the correct position and to have the correct box half widths, e.g.:  
        button= button_build(Button(text="label",y=initial_y))  
     You can either drag the center of the button to a new location  
     (press down near the center of the button, move the pointer to  
     where you want the center, and release at the new center point),  
     or press the "Set Box" or "Done" button.  In the "Set Box" mode,  
     you can either drag a new box over the button, or press "Set Center"  
     (to return to the original mode) or "Done" button.  
     Yorick has no way to determine the size of a text string produced  
     by the plt command, which is why you need to be able to adjust  
     the size of the box draawn around the text.  The idea is to use  
     button_build to get the buttons where you like, then put those  
     coordinates into the include file for the mouse-driven function  
     you are writing.  
     Also, the input BUTTON may be an array of buttons, and BUTTON(WHICH)  
     will be the one that is modified.  WHICH defaults to 1.  By using an  
     array of buttons, you can see all the other buttons in a group while  
     you adjust one.  
interpreted function, defined at i/button.i   line 21  

             button_plot, button1, button2, ...  
 
     plot the specified BUTTONs.  Each button in the list may be an array  
     of Button structs.  Void arguments are no-ops.  
interpreted function, defined at i/button.i   line 127  

             button_test(button, x, y)  
 
     true if the BUTTON contains NDC coordinates (X,Y).  
interpreted function, defined at i/button.i   line 158  

             bytscl(z)  
          or bytscl(z, top=max_byte, cmin=lower_cutoff, cmax=upper_cutoff)  
 
     returns a char array of the same shape as Z, with values linearly  
     scaled to the range 0 to one less than the current palette size.  
     If MAX_BYTE is specified, the scaled values will run from 0 to  
     MAX_BYTE instead.  
     If LOWER_CUTOFF and/or UPPER_CUTOFF are specified, Z values outside  
     this range are mapped to the cutoff value; otherwise the linear  
     scaling maps the extreme values of Z to 0 and MAX_BYTE.
