Laminate (The Index [I] Entry
is
a Fraction):
The
laminate function joins
two
items by
creating a new coordinate, specified by
the
index
entry
[I] which must be a posi-
tive fraction.
If
the
index
entry
is
between 0 and 1,
the
new coordinate becomes
the
first coordinate; if
the
index
entry
is
between 1 and 2, the new
coordinate
is
placed between existing coordinates 1 and 2 (the new coordinate
that
is
added
al-
ways has a value (or length)
of
2).
The
following chart shows
the
positions
of
a
new coordinate
in
the
shape vector (see
the
following examples) when
two
3 by
3 matrices are laminated:

Lamination requires either
that
arguments A and B are
the
same shape
or
that
one
of
the
arguments
is
a scalar:
