Slanted wiggles, twiggles, and ciggles

Any three of these segment types can be given the modifier ``slanted''.

When a segment is ``slanted'', that means its initial amplitude is the current amplitude of its previous segment, and its final amplitude is its specified amplitude.

Here is a plot of 4 slanted wiggles superimposed on the same 4 not-slanted wiggles.

-This is how you would request slanted segments in a datafile.

     ws1 wiggle slanted          # A slanted wiggle
     20 25 10 .5                 # duration
     10000 20000 -20000 200      # amplitudes
     
     ts1 twiggle slanted         # A slanted twiggle

     .5 1 .25 .001               # peak location

     .5 1 .25 .001               # peak location

Here are pairs of plots of identical waveform. The ones on the left are not slanted and the ones on the right are. The first is a pair of wiggles, the second of twiggles, and the last of ciggles.
