The scale function cannot be found anywhere in OF although mentioned in the userguide

scale(a,b) = (a1b1,a2b2,a3b3) where a,b are vectors. This is describes on page 20 of the programmer's guide, but when I use it for programming, the terminal says there is no such function. I tried to add several namespace before it, but none of them is correct. I don't know why!

"scale(U,U) doesn't work and unfortunately it has not been updated in programmers guide. You should use cmptMultiply(U,U) instead."

From my note copied from one of earlier post.

Lin,
Thank you for the quick reply, does cmptMultipy apply for two scalarFields, namely cmptMultipy(points1,points2) where points1 and points2 are both scalarFields?
Best wishes!
Nick
