Hello,
hope I am not fooling myself, but there seems to be a problem with
padding. PadLeft/PadRight seem to work as expected when used alone.
However if we use them sequentially there seems to be some unwanted effects.
Consider:
npad = 1;
d = d0 = {x1, x2, x3, x4};
d = PadLeft[d, npad + Length[d], d0]
d = PadRight[d, npad + Length[d], d0]
For npad=1 padding on the right does not start with the first element of
d0, but with the second one.
For npad=2, padding starts with the third element, e.t.c.
If we eliminate the PadLeft, PadRight works as expected.
cheers, Daniel
