; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;
;       scaledImage = GAUSSSCL(image)
;
; ARGUMENTS:
;
;       image:         The image to be scaled. Written for 2D images, but arrays
;                      of any size are treated alike.
;
; KEYWORDS:
;
;       SIGMA:         The sigma value or width of the Gaussian
;                      function. Set to 1 by default.
;
;
;       MAX:           Any value in the input image greater than this value is
;                      set to this value before scaling.
;
;       MIN:           Any value in the input image less than this value is
;                      set to this value before scaling.
;
;       NEGATIVE:      If set, the "negative" of the result is returned.
;
;       OMAX:          The output image is scaled between OMIN and OMAX. The
;                      default value is 255.
;
;       OMIN:          The output image is scaled between OMIN and OMAX. The
;                      default value is 0.
; RETURN VALUE:
;
;       scaledImage:   The output, scaled into the range OMIN to OMAX. A byte array.
;
; COMMON BLOCKS:
;       None.
;
; EXAMPLES:
;
;       LoadCT, 0                                            ; Gray-scale colors.
;       image = LoadData(11)                                 ; Load image.
;       TV, GaussScl(image)
;
; RESTRICTIONS:
;
;     Requires SCALE_VECTOR from the Coyote Library:
