mergeIntervals(intervals, ...)Arguments
Details
The upper and lower bounds are considered to be inclusive, that is, all intervals are interpreted to be of form [a,b]. There is currently no way to specify intervals with open bounds, e.g. (a,b].
Furthermore, the bounds are currently treated as real values. For instance, merging [0,1] and [2,3] will return the same intervals. Note, if integer intervals were treated specially, we would merge these intervals to integer interval [0,3] == {0,1,2,3}.
Value
Returns a matrix (or a vector) of M intervals, where M <= N.
The intervals are ordered by their lower bounds.
The @mode of the returned intervals is the same as the mode of
the input intervals.
