/** \class EST_Window
    \brief The EST_Window class provides functions for the creation and use of signal processing windows.

Signal processing algorithms often work by on small sections of the
speech waveform known as *frames*. A full signal must first be
divided into these frames before these algorithms can work. While it
would be simple to just "cut out" the required frames from the
waveforms, this is usually undesirable as large discontinuities can
occur at the frame edges. Instead it is customary to cut out the frame
by means of a *window* function, which tapers the signal in the
frame so that it has high values in the middle and low or zero values
near the frame edges. The EST_Window class provides a wrap
around for such windowing operations.

There are several types of window function, including:

  - **Rectangular**, which is used to give a simple copy of the the
values between the window limits. 

   \f[w_{n} = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll}
   1 & \mbox{$0 \leq n \leq N$} \\
   0 & \mbox{otherwise}
   \end{array}
   \right. \f]

  - **Hanning**: The rectangular window can cause sharp discontinuities
    at window edges. The hanning window solves this by ensuring that the
    window edges taper to 0.

   \f[w_{n} = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll}
   0.5 - 0.5 \cos(2\pi n / (N-1)) & \mbox{$0 \leq n \leq N$} \\
   0 & \mbox{otherwise}
   \end{array}
   \right. \f]

  - **Hamming**: The hanning window causes considerable energy
    loss, which the hamming window attempts to rectify.

\f[w_{n} = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll}
0.54 - 0.46 \cos(2\pi n / (N-1)) & \mbox{$0 \leq n \leq N$} \\
0 & \mbox{otherwise}
\end{array}
\right. \f]

The particular choice of window depends on the application. For
instance in most speech synthesis applications Hanning windows are the
most suitable as they don't have time domain discontinuities. For
analysis applications hamming windows are normally used.
