The Ramp command generates a ramp waveform.

By default, Ramp returns a piecewise expression representing a ramp. If the option discrete is assigned true, Ramp returns a Vector of data points.

The optional parameter slope specifies the slope of the ramp. Its default value is one.

The optional parameter t0 specifies the time of the start of the ramp. Its default value is zero.

The optional parameter y0 specifies the initial value. Its default value is zero.
