========

.. index:: linspace

.. us.tag  linspace NOTREADYENGLISH

The :ref:`linspace` function creates a vector from *s1* to *s2* with *n*
elements.

.. function::  rv = linspace(s1, s2)
    rv = linspace(s1, s2, n)

.. us.return

**Return Value**

*rv* is the a linearly spaced vector.

.. us.params

**Parameters**

.. uparam:: s1

   *s1* is the start value

.. uparam:: s2

   *s2* is the end value

.. uparam:: n

   *n* is the number of elements (Default is 100).

.. us.comment

**Comment**

:ref:`linspace` generates linearly spaced vectors. It is similar to the colon
operator ``":"``, but gives direct control over the number of points.

.. us.example

**Example**

::

   x = linspace(0, 2*PI)
   y = sin(x)
   plot(x, y)
