conversion to 1 or 4 byte integer representation
y=iconvert(X,itype)
:X matrix of floats or integers : :y matrix of integers coded on one, two or four bytes. :
converts and stores data two one, two or four bytes integers.
:itype=0 return floating point numbers : :itype=1 return int8 numbers in the range [-128,127] : :itype=11 return uint8 numbers in the range [0,255] : :itype=2 return int16 numbers in the range [-32768,32767] : :itype=12 return uint16 numbers in the range [0, 65535] : :itype=4 return int32 numbers in the range [-2147483648,2147483647] : :itype=14 return uint32 numbers in the range [0, 4294967295] :
b=`int32`_([1 -120 127 312])
y=iconvert(b,1)
