{ma f/i val1 val2 val3 val4 duration(s)}
The ma is for mask. The values given after ma will define
whether floating point numbers (f) or integer numbers (i)
will be generated, followed by a tendency mask. val1 and val3
define the departure and arrival points of the minimum line. val2
and val4 define the departure and arrival points of the maximum
line. A random number between the time-varying minimum and maximum lines
lines is generated. Last element in the list is the duration in number
of events or seconds (s)
Values can be:
{ma f 1.2 3 5 9 10s}
{ma i 3 10 400 6000 30}
{ma f [blue] [black] 6 6 30s}
where blue and black have been defined as irate variables
in the CECILIA interface. {ma i {ran f .5 3.3} 4 {ran i 9 100} 2000 30s}
At computation time, the departure value of the minimum line will be randomly
selected between .5 and 3.3 and the departure point for the maximum line
will be randomly selected between 9 and 100.
