%  Procedure for creating a linear array transducer
%  with an number of rows (1.5D array)
%
%  Calling:  Th = xdc_linear_multirow (no_elem_x, width, no_ele_y, heights, kerf_x, kerf_y, 
%                                      no_sub_x, no_sub_y, focus); 
%
%  Parameters:   no_elem_x   -  Number of physical elements in x-direction.
%                width       -  Width in x-direction of elements.
%                no_elem_y   -  Number of physical elements in y-direction.
%                heights     -  Heights of the element rows in the y-direction. 
%                               Vector with no_elem_y values.
%                kerf_x      -  Width in x-direction between elements.
%                kerf_y      -  Gap in y-direction between elements.
%                no_sub_x    -  Number of sub-divisions in x-direction of physical elements.
%                no_sub_y    -  Number of sub-divisions in y-direction of physical elements.
%                focus[]     -  Fixed focus for array (x,y,z). Vector with three elements.         
%
%  Return:    A handle Th as a pointer to this transducer aperture.
