container : Array, predefined Array for holding results

The GenerateSlope(n, offset, slope) command generates n samples for a slope signal. The result is returned in an Array with datatype float[8].

The $k$-th sample point is computed as $km+\mathrm{\alpha }$, where $\mathrm{\alpha }$ is the value of offset and $m$ is the value of the slope argument.

If the container=C option is provided, then the results are put into C and C is returned. With this option, no additional memory is allocated to store the result. The container must be an Array of size n having datatype float[8].

The SignalProcessing[GenerateSlope] command is thread-safe as of Maple 17.
