DGTLENGTH - DGT length from signal

Program code:

function [L,tfr]=dgtlength(Ls,a,M,varargin);
%DGTLENGTH  DGT length from signal
%   Usage: L=dgtlength(Ls,a,M);
%          L=dgtlength(Ls,a,M,lt);
%
%   DGTLENGTH(Ls,a,M) returns the length of a Gabor system that is long
%   enough to expand a signal of length Ls. Please see the help on
%   DGT for an explanation of the parameters a and M.
%
%   If the returned length is longer than the signal length, the signal
%   will be zero-padded by DGT.
%
%   A valid transform length must be divisable by both a and M. This
%   means that the minumal admissable transform length is :
%
%     Lsmallest = lcm(a,M);
%
%   and all valid transform lengths are multipla of Lsmallest*
%
%   Non-separable lattices:
%   -----------------------
%
%   DGTLENGTH(Ls,a,M,lt) does as above for a non-separable lattice with
%   lattice-type lt. For non-separable lattices, there is the additinal
%   requirement on the transform length, that the structure of the
%   lattice must be periodic. This gives a minimal transform length of :
%
%     Lsmallest = lcm(a,M)*lt(2);
