3 .SH NAME
4 gauss \- generate a Gaussian window.
5
6 .SH SYNTAX
7 gauss [option]
8
9 .SH DESCRIPTION
10 Generate a Gaussian window on the stdout in binary shorts or floats for a
11 given variance over a given range of standard deviations.
12
13 .SH OPTIONS
14
15 1. variance, range
16
17 The variance of the Gaussian window and its ordinal range in standard
18 deviations either side of the mode.
19 The size of the window in samples is given by:
20
21 .nf
22 [ 2 * range * sqrt( variance ) ] samples + 1 sample
23 .fi
24
25 The variance can be given with time units (ms or s) or samples (no
26 units). Time units are converted to samples using the given `samplerate'
27 option.
28
29 2. normalize
30
31 If "normalize=off" then the window has unit amplitude at the mode.
32 If "normalize=on" then the window is scaled for unit area.
33
34 3. scale
35
36 A scale factor for the output.
37
38 4. type
39
40 Output datatype ("type=short" or "type=float").
41
