      Group an array by the number of counts per group.
     
grpNumCounts( Array_Type countsArray, Double_Type numCounts )
grpNumCounts( Array_Type countsArray, Double_Type numCounts,
Integer_Type maxLength )
grpNumCounts( Array_Type countsArray, Double_Type numCounts,
Integer_Type maxLength, Array_Type tabStops )
Returns: ( Array_Type grouping, Array_Type quality ) 
       
	This function returns the grouping and quality arrays
	that represent the input data (countsArray) after
	it has been grouped so that each group contains
	at least numCounts counts.
	The optional parameters maxLength and tabStops
	represent the maximum number of elements
	that can be combined and an array representing those
	elements that should be ignored respectively.
       
	This function provides the same functionality
	as the NUM_CTS option of dmgroup.
       
chips> (g,q) = grpNumCounts( y, 20 )
	  
	    This example calculates the grouping and quality arrays
	    that represent the input data (here the contents of the y
	    array) after it has been grouped to at least 20 counts per
	    group.
	   
chips> x = [0.5:6.0:0.05]
chips> y = 3 + 30 * exp( - (x-2.0)^2 / 0.1 )
chips> (g,q) = grpNumCounts( y, 15 )
chips> ysum = grpGetGroupSum( y, g )
chips> nchan = grpGetChansPerGroup( g )
chips> i = where( g == 1 )
chips> yavg = ysum[i] / nchan[i]
chips> curve( x, y )
chips> simpleline
chips> curve( x[i], yavg )
chips> symbol square
chips> symbol red
	  
	    Here we take the function
	     y = 3 + 30 * exp( -(x-2)^2 / 0.1 )
	    and group it by 15 counts per group.
	    The plot shows the original data (the solid line and the
	    crosses) and the grouped data (as the
	    red squares); the latter has been normalised by the
	    width of each group and is displayed at the left-edge
	    of each group.
	   
	    In this example we have ignored the quality array; the
	    last group (corresponding to the last 3 elements of
	    the x and y arrays) has a quality value of 2, indicating
	    that the total number of counts for the group
	    (9) is less than 15. The code below identifies this
	    element as the solid-yellow circle.
	   
chips> i = where( g == 1 )
chips> j = where( q[i] != 0 )
chips> curve( x[i][j], yavg[j] )
chips> symbol bigpoint
chips> symbol yellow
