% IM = mkRamp(SIZE, DIRECTION, SLOPE, INTERCEPT, ORIGIN)
%
% Compute a matrix of dimension SIZE (a [Y X] 2-vector, or a scalar)
% containing samples of a ramp function, with given gradient DIRECTION
% (radians, CW from X-axis, default = 0), SLOPE (per pixel, default =
% 1), and a value of INTERCEPT (default = 0) at the ORIGIN (default =
% (size+1)/2, [1 1] = upper left).  All but the first argument are
% optional.
