\title{
Range Space
}
\description{
Range space or image of a matrix.
}
\usage{
orth(M)
}
\arguments{
\item{M}{Numeric matrix; vectors will be considered as column vectors.}
}
\details{
\code{B=orth(A)} returns an orthonormal basis for the range of \code{A}.
The columns of \code{B} span the same space as the columns of \code{A},
and the columns of \code{B} are orthogonal to each other.
The number of columns of \code{B} is the rank of \code{A}.
}
\value{
Matrix of orthogonal columns, spanning the image of \code{M}.
