scalevals

procedure scalevals, thevalues, scaledvalues, prefix

Scale a value and determine the appropriate prefix for the scaled result. This could be more general, but it is only intended to work out scaling for Giga, Mega, and kilo (G,M,k). If thevalues is a vector, only the first value is examined and all values are scaled by the same factor.

Version

scaledvalues
out, required
variable 		The scaled values.
prefix
out, required
variable 		One of "G", "M" or "k" for scalings by 1e9, 1e6, or 1e3 respectively.
