taper.m

Matsig is an object-oriented signal class library for MATLAB 6.5 and later. It implements a signal c

function y = taper(x,t,varargin)
% TAPER   Taper off the ends of a signal using half-hanning windows
%
%    Y=TAPER(X,T)
%
%    Taper signal X using a half-hanning window of length T. That
%    is, the T first and last seconds of the signal are windowed
%    using a half-hanning window, while the remaining portion of
%    the signal is kept intact.
%
%    Y=TAPER(X,T,'begin')
%    Y=TAPER(X,T,'end')
%
%    Taper only the beginning or end of the signal, respectively.
