Step2State

PURPOSE ^

Returns the state correspoinding to a step.

SYNOPSIS ^

function st=Step2State(F,step)

DESCRIPTION ^

 Returns the state correspoinding to a step.

 In general filters store (i.e., one interal state) one pose for each 
 simulation step. However, some filters (i.e., the TRO filter) can
 remove redundant poses. In this case we have less internal states than
 simulation steps.
 This function provides the conversion from step identifiers to 
 states.

 Note that all functions operating on filters use step identifiers as
 inputs and not states!. Steps are externally assigned and states are
 decided according to the filter internal workings and that must be
 hidden to the upper levels. States are only used as IDs in private
 functions.

 If one uses one of the filters functions with one of the removed steps
 an error will be triggered (actually step2state will return -1 and this
 is not valid as an index).

 See also State2Step.
