uage


              univAge(z,q0=,lambda0=)  
 
   Compute the term to integrate to compute the age of the univers.  
   z can be a VECTOR of values.  
     
   KEYWORDS: q0      : Deceleration parameter,numeric scalar  
                       -a*(a'')/(a')^2 (Omega_m/2-lambda0)  
                          
             lambda0 : Cosmological constant, normalized to  
                       th closure density.

uncen


             uncen(ptcen)  
          or uncen(ptcen, ireg)  
 
     returns zone centered version of the 2-D zone centered array PTCEN.  
     The result is (imax-1)-by-(jmax-1) if PTCEN is imax-by-jmax.  
     If the region number array IREG is specified, zones with region  
     number 0 are not included in the point centering operation.  
     Note that IREG should have dimensions imax-by-jmax, like  
     the input PTCEN array; the first row and column of IREG are ignored.  
     Without IREG, uncen(ptcen) is equivalent to ptcen(uncp,uncp).  
     Do not use uncen to zone center data which is naturally point  
     centered -- use the zncen function for that purpose.  The uncen  
     function is the (nearly) exact inverse of the ptcen function,  
     so that uncen(ptcen(zncen, ireg), ireg) will return the original  
     zncen array.  The uncen reconstruction is as exact as possible,  
     given the finite precision of floating point operations.

             undo3  
          or undo3, n

     setz3, or light3 commands.

unit


             unit(n)  
          or unit(n, m)  
 
     returns n-by-n (or n-by-m) unit matrix, i.e.- matrix with diagonal  
     elements all 1.0, off diagonal elements 0.0

univAge


             univAge(z,h0=,k=,lambda0=,Omega_m=,q0=,silent=)  
 
   See IDL routine...  
   PURPOSE:   
     Calculate age of the universe in s  
   EXPLANATION:  
     The luminosity distance in the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker model is   
     taken from  Caroll, Press, and Turner (1992, ARAA, 30, 499), p. 511  
     Uses a closed form (Mattig equation) to compute the distance when the   
     cosmological constant is zero.   Otherwise integrates the function using  
     simpson_cosmo.	  
   EXAMPLE:  
     Plot the distance of a galaxy in Mpc as a function of redshift out  
     to z = 5.0, assuming the default cosmology (Omega_m=0.3, Lambda = 0.7,  
     H0 = 70 km/s/Mpc)  
       
     z = span(0,5,50);

unzoom


             unzoom  
 
     restores limits to their values before zoom and pan operations  
     performed interactively using the mouse.  
     Use    old_limits=  limits()  
            ...  
            limits, old_limits  
     to save and restore plot limits generally.

update_mesh


             update_mesh, mesh, rt, zt  
          or update_mesh, mesh, rt, zt, ireg  
 
     updates the opaque MESH object to reflect a new RT, ZT, and  
     (optionally) IREG.  The boundary edges are recomputed and stored  
     in MESH, as well.  
builtin function, documented at i0/drat.i   line 1084

updateb


             file= updateb(filename)  
          or file= updateb(filename, primitives)  
 
     open a binary date file FILENAME for update (mode "r+b").  
     The optional PRIMITIVES argument is as for the createb function.  
     If the file exists, it is opened as if by openb(filename),  
     otherwise a new PDB file is created as if by createb(filename).

use_origins


             dummy= use_origins(dont_force)  
 
     Yorick array dimensions have an origin as well as a length.  
     By default, this origin is 1 (like FORTRAN arrays, unlike C  
     arrays).  However, the array function and the pseudo-index (-)  
     can be used to produce arrays with other origins.  
     Initially, the origin of an array index is ignored by Yorick; the  
     first element of any array has index 1.  You can change this  
     default behavior by calling use_origins with non-zero DONT_FORCE,  
     and restore the default behavior by calling use_origins(0).  
     When the returned object DUMMY is destroyed, either by return from  
     the function in which it is a local variable, or by explicit  
     redefintion of the last reference to it, the treatment of array  
     index origins reverts to the behavior prior to the call to  
     use_origins.  Thus, you can call use_origins at the top of a  
     function and not worry about restoring the external behavior  
     before every possible return (including errors).
