I'm working with the limit command, but I think I got something wrong with the syntax. I've got column b and I want to calculate the min and max (and their positions) for a specific intervall. The syntax from the manual: limit [option] dataset [range] So I assumend, that limit col(b)[100:200] should be right - but it isn't. Limit col(b) works fine, but I can't manage to set a specific range (tested with limit.size=).
If I use limit col(b) -b 1 -e 3 it shoul use the first three values, but this is ignored. If I use start = 1; stop = 5; ticks = 5; step = 0; limit -r start stop ticks step col(b) it is ignored as well.
So in the end, I'm quite confused. Can you tell me, what I got wrong? Thanks!
Limit is an old LabTalk command that was created before Origin 8 was released. It does not work very well with new range notations such as "col(b)[100:200]". It is better to define a range and then use the command with the range. An example:
If limit is an old LabTalk command, is there another more suitable command for this task? I've got a dataset (x,y) and like to find global mininma with their positions (x,y) in a specific range. The other command stats just delivers the value, not the position. Thanks again.
Use of limit command
