tomwalters@0: gauss \- generate a Gaussian window.

tomwalters@0: .SH SYNTAX 
tomwalters@0: gauss [option]
tomwalters@0: 
tomwalters@0: .SH DESCRIPTION
tomwalters@0: Generate a Gaussian window on the stdout in binary shorts or floats for a
tomwalters@0: given variance over a given range of standard deviations.
tomwalters@0: 
tomwalters@0: .SH OPTIONS
tomwalters@0: 
tomwalters@0: 1. variance, range
tomwalters@0: 
tomwalters@0: The variance of the Gaussian window and its ordinal range in standard
tomwalters@0: deviations either side of the mode.
tomwalters@0: The size of the window in samples is given by:
tomwalters@0: 
tomwalters@0: .nf
tomwalters@0: 	[ 2 * range * sqrt( variance ) ] samples   +  1 sample
tomwalters@0: .fi
tomwalters@0: 
tomwalters@0: The variance can be given with time units (ms or s) or samples (no
tomwalters@0: units).  Time units are converted to samples using the given `samplerate'
tomwalters@0: option.
tomwalters@0: 
tomwalters@0: 2. normalize
tomwalters@0: 
tomwalters@0: If "normalize=off" then the window has unit amplitude at the mode.
tomwalters@0: If "normalize=on" then the window is scaled for unit area.
tomwalters@0: 
tomwalters@0: 3. scale
tomwalters@0: 
tomwalters@0: A scale factor for the output.
tomwalters@0: 
tomwalters@0: 4. type
tomwalters@0: 
tomwalters@0: Output datatype ("type=short" or "type=float").
