+## Processes image in sliding blocks using user-supplied function.
+##
+## @code{B=nlfilter(A,[m,n],fun)} passes sliding @var{m}-by-@var{n}
+## blocks to user-supplied function @var{fun}. A block is build for
+## every pixel in @var{A}, such as it is centered within the block.
+## @var{fun} must return a scalar, and it is used to create matrix
+## @var{B}. @var{nlfilter} pads the @var{m}-by-@var{n} block at the
+## edges if necessary.
+##
+## Center of block is taken at ceil([@var{m},@var{n}]/2).
+##
+## @code{B=nlfilter(A,[m,n],fun,...)} behaves as described above but
+## passes extra parameters to function @var{fun}.
+##
+## @code{B=nlfilter(A,'indexed',...)} assumes that @var{A} is an indexed
+## image, so it pads the image using proper value: 0 for uint8 and
+## uint16 images and 1 for double images. Keep in mind that if 'indexed'
+## is not specified padding is always done using 0.
