; NAME:
;       LOGSCL
;
; PURPOSE:
;
;       This is a utility routine to perform a log intensity transformation
;       on an image. For exponent values greater than 1.0, the upper and
;       lower values of the image are compressed and centered on the mean.
;       Larger exponent values provide steeper compression. For exponent values
;       less than 1.0, the compression is similar to gamma compression. (See
;       IMGSCL.) See pages 68-70 in _Digital Image Processing with MATLAB_
;       by Gonzales, Wood, and Eddins. The function is used to improve contrast
;       in images.

;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;
;       outputImage = LOGSCL(image)
;
; ARGUMENTS:
;
;       image:         The image to be scaled. Written for 2D images, but arrays
;                      of any size are treated alike.
;
; KEYWORDS:
;
;       EXPONENT:      The exponent in a log transformation. By default, 4.0.
;
;       MEAN:          Values on either side of the mean will be compressed by the log.
;                      The value is a normalized value between 0.0 and 1.0. By default, 0.5.
;
;       NEGATIVE:      If set, the "negative" of the result is returned.
;
;       MAX:           Any value in the input image greater than this value is
;                      set to this value before scaling.
;
;       MIN:           Any value in the input image less than this value is
;                      set to this value before scaling.
;
;       OMAX:          The output image is scaled between OMIN and OMAX. The
;                      default value is 255.
;
;       OMIN:          The output image is scaled between OMIN and OMAX. The
;                      default value is 0.
; RETURN VALUE:
;
;       outputImage:   The output, scaled into the range OMIN to OMAX. A byte array.
;
; COMMON BLOCKS:
;       None.
;
; EXAMPLES:
;
;       cgLoadCT, 0                                       ; Gray-scale colors.
;       image = cgDemoData(22)                            ; Load image.
;       cgImage, image                                    ; No contrast.
;       cgImage, LogScl(image)                            ; Improved contrast.
;       cgImage, LogScl(image, Exponent=10, Mean=0.65)    ; Even more contrast.
;       cgImage, LogScl(image, /Negative, Exponent=5)     ; A negative image.
;
; RESTRICTIONS:
;
;     Requires cgScaleVector from the Coyote Library:

;
; MODIFICATION HISTORY:
;
;       Written by:  David W. Fanning, 20 February 2006.
;       Fixed a problem with output scaling. 1 July 2009. DWF (with input from Bo Milvang-Jensen).
