SINDGEN
 
The 
 
SINDGEN function returns a string 
 
array with the specified dimensions. Each element of the array is set to the string representation of the value of its one-dimensional subscript, using IDL's default formatting rules.
 
Calling Sequence
 
Result = SINDGEN(
D
1
, ..., D
n
)
 
 
Arguments
 
D
i
 
The dimensions of the result. The dimension parameters can be any scalar expression. Up to eight dimensions can be specified. If the dimension arguments are not integer values, IDL will convert them to integer values before creating the new array.
 
 
 
Example
 
To create S, a six-element string vector with each element set to the string value of its subscript, enter:
 
S = SINDGEN(6)
