If like me you use linspace a lot, you can modify your version of linspace easily like so:

function linSeq(x0, xN) {
    return linspace(x0, xN, Math.abs(xN-x0)+1);
}

function linspace(x0, xN, n){

    dx = (xN - x0)/(n-1);
    var x = [];
    for(var i =0; i < n; ++i){
        x.push(x0 + i*dx);
    }

    return x;
}

You can then use linSeq in any direction, e.g. linSeq(2,4) generates 2,3,4 while linSeq(4,2) generates 4,3,2.
