WFBTREMOVE - Remove node(s) from the filterbank tree

Program code:

function wt = wfbtremove(d,kk,wt,varargin)
%WFBTREMOVE Remove node(s) from the filterbank tree
%   Usage:  wt = wbftremove(d,kk,wt);
%           wt = wfbtremove(d,kk,wt,'force');
%
%   Input parameters:
%           d   : Level in the tree (0 - root).
%           kk  : Index of the node at level d (starting at 0) or array 
%                 of indexes. 
%           wt  : Wavelet filterbank tree structure (as returned from
%                 WFBTINIT).
%
%   Output parameters:
%           wt : Modified filterbank structure.
%   
%   WFBTREMOVE(d,kk,wt) removes existing node at level d and index kk*
%   from the filterbank tree structure wt. The function fails if the 
%   node has any children (it is not a leaf node).
%
%   WFBTREMOVE(d,k,wt,'force') does the same, but any childern of the
%   node are removed too.
%
%   Examples:
%   ---------
%
%   The following example shows magnitude frequency responses of filterbank
%   tree before and after prunning.:
%
%      % Create a full filterbank tree usinf 'db10' basic filterbank.
%      wt1 = wfbtinit({'db10',4,'full'});
%      % Remove a subtree starting by root's high-pass filter. Force flag
%      % is used because we are removing a non-leaf node.
%      wt2 = wfbtremove(1,1,wt1,'force');
%      
%      % Create identical filterbanks
%      [g1,a1] = wfbt2filterbank(wt1,'freq');
%      [g2,a2] = wfbt2filterbank(wt2,'freq');
%
%      % Plot the frequency responses
%      subplot(2,1,1);
%      filterbankfreqz(g1,a1,1024,'plot','posfreq','linabs');
%      subplot(2,1,2);
%      filterbankfreqz(g2,a2,1024,'plot','posfreq','linabs');
