.TH GAUSS 1 "1 September 1993"

.SH NAME
gauss \- generate a Gaussian window.

.SH SYNTAX 
gauss [option]

.SH DESCRIPTION
Generate a Gaussian window on the stdout in binary shorts or floats for a
given variance over a given range of standard deviations.

.SH OPTIONS

1. variance, range

The variance of the Gaussian window and its ordinal range in standard
deviations either side of the mode.
The size of the window in samples is given by:

.nf
	[ 2 * range * sqrt( variance ) ] samples   +  1 sample
.fi

The variance can be given with time units (ms or s) or samples (no
units).  Time units are converted to samples using the given `samplerate'
option.

2. normalize

If "normalize=off" then the window has unit amplitude at the mode.
If "normalize=on" then the window is scaled for unit area.

3. scale

A scale factor for the output.

4. type

Output datatype ("type=short" or "type=float").
