Purpose

---

      Scale given data to db (meant for images).

Category

Calling Sequence

---

      d = scale_db(p, db, pmax, minout, maxout)

Inputs

---

      p = original data. in
      db = Decibel range to cover. in
      pmax = reference value to map to 0 db. in
      minout = value to map -DB db to. in
      maxout = value to map 0 db to. in

Keyword Parameters

Keywords

---

        /NOCLIP means do not clip values to stay in
          range -db to 0. This allows saturation for
          pmax < max(p).
        MAXDB=mxdb Returned max db. Useful with /NOCLIP.

Outputs

---

      d = scaled values. out
