Question: Having graycomatrix rescaling problem

Hi to all,   I am having some trouble using the graycomatrix function. I tried to read the documentation but that did not answered my question.   By default, the input image is rescaled to an image with 8 gray levels. Does anyone knows how is this rescaling performed? Besides the GLCM, I am getting a matrix with all ones as output from the graycomatrix function, which is not the same as I get when i use the rescale function on the original image.

Here is the doc for the NumLevels parameter:
 
Number of gray levels, specified as an integer. For example, if NumLevels is 8, graycomatrix scales the values in I so they are integers between 1 and 8. The number of gray-levels determines the size of the gray-level co-occurrence matrix (glcm).
 
And here is the code fragment inside graycomatrix.m that performs the scaling:
 
% Scale I so that it contains integers between 1 and NL.
if GL(2) == GL(1)
  SI = ones(size(I));
else 
    slope = NL / (GL(2) - GL(1));
    intercept = 1 - (slope*(GL(1)));
    SI = floor(imlincomb(slope,I,intercept,'double'));
end
