annotate xtract/xtract_vector.h @ 105:f2af1c75e3ed

- Added extra argument to xtract_spectrum to give the option of normalising the magnitude/power coeffificients
- Removed duplicate code block (argc assignment) from descriptors.c
- Added some extra documentation to libxtract.h

 * \param N: the number of array elements to be considered
 * \param *argv: a pointer to an array of floats, the first representing (samplerate / N), the second will be cast to an integer and determines the spectrum type (e.g. XTRACT_MAGNITUDE_SPECTRUM, XTRACT_LOG_POWER_SPECTRUM). The third argument determines whether or not the DC component is included in the output. If argv[2] == 1, then the DC component is included in which case the size of the array pointed to by *result must be N+2. For any further use of the array pointed to by *result, the value of N must reflect the (larger) array size. The fourth argument determines whether the magnitude/power coefficients are to be normalised. If argv[3] == 1, then the coefficients are normalised.
 * \param *result: a pointer to an array of size N containing N/2 magnitude/power/log magnitude/log power coefficients and N/2 bin frequencies. 
 *
 * The magnitude/power coefficients are scaled to the range 0-1 so that for a given coefficient x, 0 <= x <= 1
