The 'x', 'y' and 'z' parameters specify the size of each axis. If a value is not given, it is assumed to be 1. The 'org' and 'format' parameters specify the organization (one of bil, bip, bsq, xyz, xzy, zxy) and format (one of byte, short, int, float or double). The default organization is bsq. The default format is int. The array is filled with a ramp. The first element is numbered from the 'start' parameter (default of 1) and each successive element is incremented by the step size (default of 1). init - if init is 0 the start and step values are ignore and the array is defaulted to the random contents of the memory block that was allocated. NOTE: on Linux, this may not actually allocate all the memory upfront and a delayed failure may occur if that memory is not available at the time of use.
