Parameters

start

({{< req >}}) First value to return in the list.

width

({{< req >}}) Distance between subsequent values.

count

({{< req >}}) Number of values to return.

infinity

Include an infinite value at the end of the list. Default is true.

Examples

Generate a list of linearly increasing values

linearBins(
    start: 0.0,
    width: 10.0,
    count: 10,
)// Returns [0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, +Inf]
