## @deftypefn {Function File} {@var{I} =} mat2gray (@var{M})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{I} =} mat2gray (@var{M}, [@var{min} @var{max}])
## Convert a matrix to an intensity image.
##
## The returned matrix @var{I} is a grayscale image, of double class and in the
## range of values [0, 1]. The optional arguments @var{min} and @var{max} will
## set the limits of the conversion; values in @var{M} below @var{min} and
## above @var{max} will be set to 0 and 1 on @var{I} respectively.
##
## @var{max} and @var{min} default to the maximum and minimum values of @var{M}.
##
## If @var{min} is larger than @var{max}, the `inverse' will be returned. Values
## in @var{M} above @var{max} will be set to 0 while the ones below @var{min}
## will be set to 1.
##
## @strong{Caution:} For compatibility with @sc{matlab}, if @var{min} and @var{max}
## are equal (either from being actually being set manually or automatically
## calculated from the @var{M} min and max values, Octave's mat2gray will truncate
## all values between [0 1]. For example
##
## @example
## @group
## mat2gray ([-2 0 0.5 0.9 5], [2 2])
##      @result{} [0  0  0.5  0.9  1]
## mat2gray ([0.5 0.5 0.5])
##      @result{} [0.5  0.5  0.5]
## mat2gray ([4 4 4])
##      @result{} [1  1  1]
## @end group
## @end example

  ## need to make this values double or the calculations later may fail
  out_min = double (out_min);
  out_max = double (out_max);

  ## if max and min are the same, matlab seems to simple truncate the input
  ## between 0 and 1, and ignores the min/max values set. Don't get the logic
  ## but hey! Matlab compatibility
  if (out_min == out_max)

  ## we are editing the input matrix rather than creating a new one to save
  ## memory. We need to make sure it's double though
  in = double(in);

  ## it's faster to get the index of values between max and min only once
  ## than to have it calculated on both sides of the assignment later on. We
  ## need to get the index before starting editing

  in(in <= out_min) = 0;
  in(in >= out_max) = 1;
  in(idx) = (1/(out_max - out_min)) * (double(in(idx)) - out_min);

  ## if the given min and max are in the inverse order...
  if (nargin > 1 && scale(1) > scale (2))
    ## matlab seems to allow setting the min higher than the max but not by
    ## checking which one is actually correct. Seems to just invert it
