%DEMO_PBSPLINE  How to use PBSPLINE
%
%   This script illustrates various properties of the
%   PBSPLINE function.
%
%   Figure 1: Three first splines
%
%      This figure shows the three first splines (order 0,1 and 2)
%      and their dual windows.
%
%      Note that they are calculated for an even number of the parameter a,
%      meaning that they are not exactly splines, but a slightly smoother
%      construction, that still form a partition of unity.
%
%   See also: pbspline, middlepad

% Setup parameters and length of signal.

% b and N, and that a <= M

L=72;  % Length of signal.
a=6;   % Time shift.
M=9;   % Number of modulations.

% Calculate the frequency shift.

% The following call creates a B-spline of order 2.
% The translates of a multiple of 'a' of this function
% creates a partition of unity.
% 'ntaps' contains the number of non-zero elements of g

% Plot the three first splines and their canonical dual windows:

% Calculate the splines.
g1=pbspline(L,0,a);
g2=pbspline(L,1,a);
g3=pbspline(L,2,a);

% Calculate their dual windows.
g1d=gabdual(g1,a,M);
g2d=gabdual(g2,a,M);
g3d=gabdual(g3,a,M);

% Standard note on plotting:
%
% - All windows have real DFTs, but Matlab does not
%   always recoqnize this, so we have to filter away
%   the small imaginary part by calling REAL(...)
%
% - The windows are all centered around zero, but this
%   is not visually pleasing, so the window must be
%   shifted to the middle by an FFTSHIFT
