double - conversion from integer to double precision representation

### Calling Sequence

  `y=double(X)`
  `y=int16(X)`
  `y=int32(X)`
  `y=uint8(X)`
  `y=uint16(X)`
  `y=uint32(X)`

### Parameters

- `X` : matrix of floats or integers
- `y` : matrix of floats

### Description

converts data stored using one, two or four bytes integers into double precision floating point representation. If `X` entries are already double precision floats, nothing is done.

### Examples

    x=int8([0 12 140])
    double(x)
