   VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
   --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
   s          I   Scalar to multiply a vector.
   v1         I   Vector to be multiplied.
   vout       O   Product vector, s * v1.

Detailed_Input

   s           is a double precision scalar used to multiply the vector
               `v1'.

   v1          is a double precision 3-dimensional vector, which is to
               be scaled by `s'.

Detailed_Output

   vout        is a double precision 3-dimensional vector containing
               the product of the scalar with the vector `v1'. `vout' may
               overwrite `v1'.

Parameters

   None.

Exceptions

   Error free.

Files

   None.

Particulars

   For each value of the index `i' from 0 to 2, this function
   performs the following multiplication

      vout[i] = s * v1[i];

   No error checking is performed to guard against numeric overflow
   or underflow.

Examples

   The numerical results shown for this example may differ across
   platforms. The results depend on the SPICE kernels used as
   input, the compiler and supporting libraries, and the machine
   specific arithmetic implementation.

   1) Define a sets of scalar double precision values and use them
      to scale a given 3-dimensional vector.


      Example code begins here.


      /.
         Program vscl_ex1
      ./
      #include <stdio.h>
      #include "SpiceUsr.h"

      int main( )
      {

         /.
         Local parameters.
         ./
         #define SETSIZ       3

         /.
         Local variables.
         ./
         SpiceDouble          vout   [3];

         SpiceInt             i;

         /.
         Define the set of scalars and the input vector.
         ./
         SpiceDouble          s      [SETSIZ] = { 3.0, 0.0, -1.0 };

         SpiceDouble          v1     [3]      = { 1.0, 2.0, -3.0 };

         printf( "Input vector :  %5.1f %5.1f %5.1f\n",
                                   v1[0], v1[1], v1[2] );
         printf( "\n" );

         /.
         Calculate product of each scalar and `v1'.
         ./
         for ( i = 0; i < SETSIZ; i++ )
         {

            vscl_c ( s[i], v1, vout );

            printf( "Scale factor :  %5.1f\n", s[i] );
            printf( "Output vector:  %5.1f %5.1f %5.1f\n",
                              vout[0], vout[1], vout[2] );
            printf( "\n" );

         }

         return ( 0 );
      }


      When this program was executed on a Mac/Intel/cc/64-bit
      platform, the output was:


      Input vector :    1.0   2.0  -3.0

      Scale factor :    3.0
      Output vector:    3.0   6.0  -9.0

      Scale factor :    0.0
      Output vector:    0.0   0.0  -0.0

      Scale factor :   -1.0
      Output vector:   -1.0  -2.0   3.0

Restrictions

   1)  The user is responsible for insuring that no floating point
       overflow occurs from multiplying `s' by any component of `v1'. No
       error recovery or reporting scheme is incorporated in this
       function.
