1. | The function may contain any number of points. |
2. | For Abscissa values that are defined outside the range of the function, the function is linearly extrapolated with a slope defined by the last two points of the function. It is recommended that the list of abscissa value be increased (which means the abscissa value needs be greater than the previous abscissa value). |
3. | A function and a table cannot share the same identifier. |
4. | Any option referencing a function can reference a table of one dimension as well, and reciprocally. |
