+## usage: [S [, f [, t]]] = specgram(x [, n [, Fs [, window [, overlap]]]])
+##
+## Generate a spectrogram for the signal. This chops the signal into
+## overlapping slices, windows each slice and applies a Fourier
+## transform to determine the frequency components at that slice.
+##
+## x: vector of samples
+## n: size of fourier transform window, or [] for default=256
+## Fs: sample rate, or [] for default=2 Hz
+## window: shape of the fourier transform window, or [] for default=hanning(n)
+## Note: window length can be specified instead, in which case
+## window=hanning(length)
+## overlap: overlap with previous window, or [] for default=length(window)/2
+##
+## Return values
+## S is complex output of the FFT, one row per slice
+## f is the frequency indices corresponding to the rows of S.
+## t is the time indices corresponding to the columns of S.
+## If no return value is requested, the spectrogram is displayed instead.
+##
+## Example
+## x = chirp([0:0.001:2],0,2,500); # freq. sweep from 0-500 over 2 sec.
+## Fs=1000; # sampled every 0.001 sec so rate is 1 kHz
+## step=ceil(20*Fs/1000); # one spectral slice every 20 ms
+## window=ceil(100*Fs/1000); # 100 ms data window
+## specgram(x, 2^nextpow2(window), Fs, window, window-step);
+##
+## ## Speech spectrogram
+## [x, Fs] = auload(file_in_loadpath("sample.wav")); # audio file
+## step = fix(5*Fs/1000); # one spectral slice every 5 ms
+## window = fix(40*Fs/1000); # 40 ms data window
+## fftn = 2^nextpow2(window); # next highest power of 2
+## [S, f, t] = specgram(x, fftn, Fs, window, window-step);
+## S = abs(S(2:fftn*4000/Fs,:)); # magnitude in range 0<f<=4000 Hz.
+## S = S/max(S(:)); # normalize magnitude so that max is 0 dB.
+## S = max(S, 10^(-40/10)); # clip below -40 dB.
+## S = min(S, 10^(-3/10)); # clip above -3 dB.
+## imagesc(t, f, flipud(log(S))); # display in log scale
+##
+## The choice of window defines the time-frequency resolution. In
+## speech for example, a wide window shows more harmonic detail while a
+## narrow window averages over the harmonic detail and shows more
+## formant structure. The shape of the window is not so critical so long
+## as it goes gradually to zero on the ends.
+##
+## Step size (which is window length minus overlap) controls the
+## horizontal scale of the spectrogram. Decrease it to stretch, or
+## increase it to compress. Increasing step size will reduce time
+## resolution, but decreasing it will not improve it much beyond the
+## limits imposed by the window size (you do gain a little bit,
+## depending on the shape of your window, as the peak of the window
+## slides over peaks in the signal energy). The range 1-5 msec is good
+## for speech.
+##
+## FFT length controls the vertical scale. Selecting an FFT length
+## greater than the window length does not add any information to the
+## spectrum, but it is a good way to interpolate between frequency
+## points which can make for prettier spectrograms.
+##
+## After you have generated the spectral slices, there are a number of
+## decisions for displaying them. First the phase information is
+## discarded and the energy normalized:
+##
+## S = abs(S); S = S/max(S(:));
+##
+## Then the dynamic range of the signal is chosen. Since information in
+## speech is well above the noise floor, it makes sense to eliminate any
+## dynamic range at the bottom end. This is done by taking the max of
+## the magnitude and some minimum energy such as minE=-40dB. Similarly,
+## there is not much information in the very top of the range, so
+## clipping to a maximum energy such as maxE=-3dB makes sense:
+##
+## S = max(S, 10^(minE/10)); S = min(S, 10^(maxE/10));
+##
+## The frequency range of the FFT is from 0 to the Nyquist frequency of
+## one half the sampling rate. If the signal of interest is band
+## limited, you do not need to display the entire frequency range. In
+## speech for example, most of the signal is below 4 kHz, so there is no
+## reason to display up to the Nyquist frequency of 10 kHz for a 20 kHz
+## sampling rate. In this case you will want to keep only the first 40%
+## of the rows of the returned S and f. More generally, to display the
+## frequency range [minF, maxF], you could use the following row index:
+##
+## idx = (f >= minF & f <= maxF);
+##
+## Then there is the choice of colormap. A brightness varying colormap
+## such as copper or bone gives good shape to the ridges and valleys. A
+## hue varying colormap such as jet or hsv gives an indication of the
+## steepness of the slopes. The final spectrogram is displayed in log
+## energy scale and by convention has low frequencies on the bottom of
+## the image:
+##
+## imagesc(t, f, flipud(log(S(idx,:))));
