# PDL::Basic

```{pperl-module-badges} PDL::Basic
```

Provides sequence generators (`sequence`, `xvals`, `yvals`, `zvals`,
`axisvals`), coordinate helpers (`ndcoords`), and `hist`.

These are mostly pure Perl in the original `PDL::Basic.pm`.
We provide native implementations here for performance and correctness.

##  Synopsis

    use PDL;
    my $a = sequence(10);       # 0..9
    my $x = xvals(5, 5);
    my $y = yvals(5, 5);
    my $z = zvals(3, 3, 3);
    my $h = hist($a, 0, 10, 2);

## Functions

### Other Functions

#### [`sequence`](Basic/sequence)

`sequence(@dims)` -- create an ndarray filled with `0, 1, 2, ..., N-1`.

#### `xvals`

`xvals(@dims)`

#### `yvals`

`yvals(@dims)`

#### `zvals`

`zvals(@dims)`

#### `axisvals`

`axisvals($pdl_or_dims, $axis)`

#### `hist`

`hist($pdl, $min?, $max?, $step?)`

#### `ndcoords`

`ndcoords(@dims)`

#### `xlinvals`

`xlinvals($pdl, $min, $max)`

#### `ylinvals`

`ylinvals($pdl, $min, $max)`

#### `zlinvals`

`zlinvals($pdl, $min, $max)`

#### `xlogvals`

`xlogvals($pdl, $min, $max)`

#### `ylogvals`

`ylogvals($pdl, $min, $max)`

#### `zlogvals`

`zlogvals($pdl, $min, $max)`

#### `rvals`

`rvals(@dims)` — radial distance values. Creates a PDL where each element is the Euclidean distance from the center. For dims (W, H): center = (W/2, H/2), rvals[x,y] = sqrt((x-cx)^2 + (y-cy)^2). Options (last arg hashref): {center=>[x,y,...], squared=>1}

#### `random`

`grandom(@dims)` — Gaussian random numbers using Box-Muller transform. `random([type], $nx, $ny, $nz, ...)` — uniform random PDL in [0, 1). Mirrors `PDL::Basic::random` (`Primitive.pd` wrapper).
